They are free in the cytoplsm.When protein synthesis begins two parts combine.
In eukariyotes there are two subunits.60s unit and 40s unit
Ribosome
The ribosome subunits come together and form a functioning ribosome.
Short Answer: Two large units and twenty-seven {*?} small subunits.
A ribosome is composed of two subunits, one large and one small, made up of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and ribosomal proteins. These subunits come together during protein synthesis to translate messenger RNA (mRNA) into a polypeptide chain.
The ribosome is composed of two subunits, a large subunit and a small subunit. These subunits work together to carry out protein synthesis in the cell by reading the messenger RNA and assembling amino acids into a protein chain.

A ribosome is made up of two subunits, one larger and one smaller. These subunits are composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. The rRNA provides the structural framework for the ribosome, while the proteins support its function in protein synthesis.
The two subunits of the ribosome.
Ribosomes are not membrane bound, they are free cytoplasmic organelles responsible for the translation of cytoplasmic mRNA's. When a ribosome begins to synthesize proteins that are needed in some organelles, the ribosome making this protein can become "membrane-bound". In eukaryotic cells this happens in a region of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) called the "rough ER". The newly produced polypeptide chains are inserted directly into the ER by the ribosome and are then transported to their destinations. Ribosome in eukaryotes are called 80S ribosomes and consist of a small 40S subunit and a larger 60S subunit. Prokaryotes have 70S ribosomes consisting of a 30S and 50S subunits. Hope this helps.

A ribosome is composed of two subunits, one large and one small, made up of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and ribosomal proteins. These subunits come together during protein synthesis to translate messenger RNA (mRNA) into a polypeptide chain.
A ribosome is a biological molecule made of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins (ribosomal proteins). A ribosome is made of two pieces (subunits) and is the organelle that is involved in protein synthesis.
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and ribosomal proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm as separate subunits. These subunits are then transported to the nucleolus where they are assembled into small and large ribosomal subunits, which together form the functional ribosome.
The nucleolus contains chromatin that is needed to produce a type of RNA called ribosomal RNA(rRNA) that then joins with proteins to form the subunits of ribosomes. Each of these subunits has its own particular mix of rRNA and proteins. The two subunits are not assembled into one ribosome until they reach the cytoplasm.
