Yup, Ribosomes. Ribosome is an organelle in cells that assembles proteins. Ribosomes are composed of ribosomal RNA and ribosomal proteins . It translates messenger RNA (mRNA) into a polypeptide chain It can be thought of as a factory that builds a protein from a set of genetic instructions. Ribosomes can float freely in the cytoplasm or bind to the endoplasmic reticulum, or to the nuclear envelope.
