The purpose of the ribosome is to translate messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins with the aid of tRNA.

All prokaryotes have 80s80s ribosomes , (where S=Svedberg units) ribosomes while eukaryotes contain larger ribosomes in their cytosol. The 70s70s ribosome is made up of a and subunits. The 5050 S subunit contains the S and S rRNA while the 3030 S subunit contains the 16S rRNA. These rRNA molecules differ in size in eukaryotes and are complexed with a large number of ribosomal proteins, the number and type of which can vary slightly between organisms. The ribosome is the most commonly observed intracellular multiprotein complex in bacteria.
