**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Ribosomes**: Ribosomes are cellular structures that play a crucial role in the synthesis of proteins. They can be found either floating freely in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). 2. **Types of Ribosomes**: There are two main types of ribosomes based on their size: 70S ribosomes (found in prokaryotes) and 80S ribosomes (found in eukaryotes). 3. **Function of Ribosomes**: The primary function of ribosomes is to facilitate the process of translation, where messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded to build proteins. This process involves linking amino acids together in a specific sequence to form a protein. ...
