How about a yeast ribosome and an E. coli ribosome? Similar.
Or are you looking at function - - - hummm well the mitochondria matrix codes for its key proteins - and the outer membrane relocates the proteins to the correct spaces in the membrane. Then the inner membrane (takes over and) continues rearranging/ relocating the protein through TIM , and finally - the matrix chaperonins fold the proteins.
Close enough I hope. Too many years since I took science classes.

Think of them as a protein assembly line. Like an assembly line in factory, amino acids enter the ribosomes and join each other to form a protein.
