Ribosomes:

Ribosomes are tiny cell organelles where instructions encoded in DNA are translated to make raw proteins. The instructions are carried to the ribosomes by long nucleic acid molecules called RNAs. There is an enormous amount of ribosomes aligned along an endoplasmic reticulum, which catches the raw proteins created by the ribosomes and sends them towards the golgi bodies, which manufactures the proteins. Bibosomes are made out of 50 proteins and several long RNAs bound together. Ribosomes turn into two subunits when not synthesizing protein. Ribosomes not found attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum are found floating along the cytoplasm of a cell.
