Ribosomes
Location: Ribosomes can be found floating all around the cell and attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
Structure: Scientists have discovered that there are two peices to every ribosome, and these are 60-S and 40-S.
Function: Ribosomes get fed amino acids and "instructions" (RNA), and with that, they link these amino acids into long chains thus creating proteins.
