Yes!
Ribosomes occur in the cytoplasm of all cells, prokaryotic ( the cells of bacteria) and eukaryotic (cells of animals, plants, and fungi). They occur in mitochondria and chloroplasts, too.
The ribosomes of prokaryotic cells are distinctly smaller than those in eukaryotes. Interestingly, the ribosomes in mitochondria and chloroplasts are similar in size to those of prokaryotes, and this is just one of the items of evidence that support the theory that these two organelles evolved from free-living prokaryotic ancestors.

Where in a bacterium are proteins synthesized?
Since bacteria do not contain a nucleus or a complex translation machinery, protein synthesis occurs on free ribosomes in the cytoplasm
Is the ribosome a plant structure or animal structure?
Ribosomes are found in both plant and animal cells. They are responsible for the creation of proteins. Ribosomes are also found in other eukaryotic cells, as well as bacteria and archaea. The ribosomes found in bacteria and archaea are very different from those found in eukaryotic cells.
Differences between bacteria and protists?
Bacteria are prokaryotic while protists are eukaryotic. Bacteria DNA is not contained within a nucleus, and it is circular, whereas in eukaryotes the DNA is found in compact chromosomes. Prokaryotes (like bacteria) also lack organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc. Also, prokaryotic cell walls contain peptidoglycan. Protists are divided into three groups: protozoa (animal-like protists), algae (plant-like protists), and slime moulds (fungi-like protists). They do not fit into the kingdoms animalia, plantae, or fungi, but they are eukaryotic (like the members of those kingdoms).
Is the flagella in the animal cell or the plant cell?
Generally neither. Plant cells to not have flagella and, apart from sperm, neither do animal cells. Flaglla are more characteristic of bacteria and protists.
Ribosomes in animal cells?
Ribosomes can be classified as either being "free" or "bound". Free ribosomes are located in the Cytosol of the cell. Bound Ribosomes are usually found in the Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough E.R) of the cell.
Is ribosomes a bacteria?
Ribosomes are not bacteria. They are microscopic structures containing proteins and strands of RNA. They are located within the cytoplasm of plant and animal cells.
Are protists bacteria?
No. Protists have nuclear membranes in their cells whereas bacteria do not.The kingdom Protists include bacteria. This kingdom includes other organisms besides bacteria. Just as we belong to the animal group.
One-celled animal-like protists are known as?
Protists are in the Kingdom Protista and can be known as unicellular, eukaryotic organisms. Animal like protists are called protozoa.
What are the 5 taxonomic groups?

What is a starfish a bacteria protists fungus plant or animal?
Yes
Why do bacteria cells have ribosomes As in what do the ribosomes do?
The ribosomes in bacterial cells do the same job as ribosomes in human and animal cells; they are "sites of translation (protein synthesis)".

What type of cell is neither plant or animal?
Bacteria, and yeast cells, as well as protists
What are the 6 different animal kingdoms?
Animals, Plants, Protists, Monerans, Fungi, Bacteria

Are protists more closely related to animals or to bacteria?
Protists are different from any other organisms found in the animal or bacteria kingdom. For this reason, they are seen as heterotrophic or autotrophic by biologists and botanists.
