Ribosomes produce proteins via translation.

Three types of RNA are formed during Transcription. There is mRNA, which contains a coded message, which is the instruction on how to make the protein, tRNA, which translates the message, and rRNA, which make up most of the ribosome. When mRNA comes into the ribosome, the tRNA attaches to the codons (letters) of the mRNA. The tRNA's complements for the mRNA are called anticodons. They come together, the tRNA translates the message and brings with it an amino acid. Once that part of the message is translated, the mRNA moves through the ribosome so that it can read the next part. TRNA comes in to translate that and brings with it another amino acid, and this process continues. The amino acids bond together in a polypeptide bond, and a whole string of these bonds and amino acids (basically until the mRNA runs out of its message) makes that lovely protein!
