Ribosomes are structures present in all cells that play a fundamental role in protein synthesis.
They are like tiny factories inside the cell responsible for joining amino acids in the correct order to form the proteins necessary for cellular function. Ribosomes can be found floating freely in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
They are essential for life, as proteins are indispensable for carrying out cellular functions, from substance transport to tissue construction and the regulation of biological processes.
