Ribosomes

Ribosomes are small, round organelles, found both in the cytoplasm and attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.  They contain rRNA and proteins.  Ribosomes that are suspended in the cytosol produce proteins that function in the cell, and ribosomes that are attached to endoplasmic reticulum produce proteins that are exported.
