Nature and occurrence. Ribosomes are dense, spherical and grannular particles which occur freely in the matrix (cytosot) or remain attached to the endoplasmic reticulurn (RER). Chemically, the major constituents of ribosomes are the ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins. Lipids are not present in ribosomes. Ribosomes are not bounded by a membrane. They are present both in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells (except mammalian RBC). Function. Ribosomes play an important part in the synthesis of proteins (Figure 32)..]..,,ft4"e;'-eri:,ri*rBi:Ggij*- i* :. ;, t, -:; *",, -* ",.,:{:i:Ei *j}r.* +i*;fi i mesaenger RNA trans or maturir'!g tace discharE*d ve$ici€ 1t \ljg riborcme small subunit cisterna large subunit qd \., endoplawric membrane j':'r " er, s # 11 \eg cis forming face Proteins/'.:-.r : - --'- I,.---::fREF. vesicles iusing wilh cis tace Golgiapparatr-rs.
