Ribosomes are naked ribonucleoprotein protoplasmic particles in which a covering membrane is absent. The ribosomes are of two types, i.e., cytoplasmic and organelle. The organelle ribosomes are found in plastids and mitochondria. The cytoplasmic ribosomes may remain free in the cytoplasmic matrix or attached to the cytosolic surface of ER with the help of SRP protein. The bound ribosomes, generally transfer their proteins to cisternae of the ER for their transport to other parts, both inside and outside the cell
