Think of a ribosome as a protein manufacturing plant. Ribosomes translate the information from mRNA (memory RNA) to build new proteins. So, the workers go into the protein factory to read instructions and assemble their product! Obviously, this is an extremely simple explanation, but maybe it can give you a mental picture to go along with the concept!
Hope this helps :))
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.
Ribosomes
There are two main types of ribosomes in cells: free ribosomes, which are found floating in the cytoplasm, and bound ribosomes, which are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Both types are responsible for protein synthesis within the cell.
Ribosomes are embedded on the surface of rough endoplasmic reticulum. These ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, and their presence gives the rough endoplasmic reticulum its characteristic bumpy appearance.
