Ribosomes:-
Structure:
The
structure of ribosomes is circular. It consists of one smaller unit and
one larger unit. The smaller unit occurs on the larger unit. The
ribosomes remain attached to the endoplasmic reticulum and form the
rough endoplasmic reticulum. The ribosomes may also be found in the
cytoplasm. You can see this in the picture below:

Function:-
The main
function of ribosomes is that they are the sites of protein synthesis.
Protein Synthesis is nothing but converting mRNA into Protein.
