Ribosomes are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, ribosomes are smaller (70S) and float freely in the cytoplasm. In eukaryotes, ribosomes are larger (80S) and can be found free in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, forming rough ER. Despite their size difference, both types of ribosomes perform the essential function of protein synthesis.
