This process of synthesizing new protein is pictured in the image below: Different proteins require different modifications and transport to various areas of the cell before they can function. A ribosome attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, for example, will deposit the newly formed protein inside, where it can be further modified and folded ...
Ribosomes are cell structures present in large numbers in all living cells acting as the site of protein synthesis. In prokaryotes, they float freely in the cytoplasm, while in eukaryotes they are free or remain bound to the outer membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. They are also found in the mitochondria and chloroplast of a eukaryotic cell.

Ribosomes are minute particles consisting of RNA and associated proteins that function to synthesize proteins. Proteins are needed for many cellular functions, such as repairing damage or directing chemical processes. Ribosomes can be found floating within the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Their main function is to convert ...
Ribosomes are the sites at which information carried in the genetic code is converted into protein molecules. Ribosomal molecules of messenger RNA (mRNA) determine the order of transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules that are bound to nucleotide triplets (codons).

Ribosomes are the protein-synthesizing machines of the cell. They translate the information encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA) into a polypeptide. Ribosomes are roughly spherical with a diameter of ~20 nm, they can be seen only with the electron microscope. Figure 3.4.1 3.4. 1 is an electron micrograph showing clusters of ribosomes.
Ribosomes are tiny spheroidal dense particles (of 150 to 200 A0 diameters) that are primarily found in most prokaryotic and eukaryotic. They are sites of protein synthesis.
Electron microscopy has shown us that ribosomes, which are large complexes of protein and RNA, consist of two subunits, aptly called large and small (Figure 5.4.3 5.4. 3). Ribosomes receive their “orders” for protein synthesis from the nucleus where the DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA).
