Ribosomes are made of two subunits; one larger and one smaller. It is made up of proteins and has a globular shape. This is so that mRNA can pass through during translation.
Ribosomes are the only structure with definite size and shape in the cytoplasm. The ribosomes are the site at which amino acids are linked together to form proteins. They are the site of protein synthesis.
'S' stands for Svedberg units, which is a measure of the rate of sedimentation during centrifugation. In ribosomes' case, the 'S' unit indicates their sedimentation rate, which can provide information about their size and shape.
There are ribosomes on the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum - these are ovular in shape and so make the surface appear 'rough'. Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis - so this the rough ER is involved in the production of protein.
Its so it gives the cell shape, the same as a bone in a body, it gives it form. Edited answer: Helps in protein synthesis
Protein synthesis occurs at ribosomes, which can be found in the cytoplasm of a cell. In eukaryotic cells, proteins can also be synthesized on ribosomes located on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Free ribosomes.
ribosomal RNA serves the site of protein synthesis in ribosomes
Prokaryotic ribosomes are smaller (70S) compared to eukaryotic ribosomes (80S). Prokaryotic ribosomes consist of a 30S and a 50S subunit, while eukaryotic ribosomes consist of a 40S and a 60S subunit. Prokaryotic ribosomes have fewer proteins compared to eukaryotic ribosomes.
