not a linkk i want someone to explain it too me

That site explains it better than I can.

What's wrong with clicking on a link?

i still don't understand itt

"Ribosomes are the protein builders or the protein synthesizers of the cell. They are like construction guys who connect one amino acid at a time and build long chains. "

-- From the above website

This is as simple an explanation as I can find.

In simple terms, a ribosome is a tiny structure found in cells that helps build proteins. To understand what a ribosome is, you can break it down into its two parts: "ribo-" and "-some."

The "ribo-" part refers to ribonucleic acid (RNA), which is a molecule involved in various cellular processes, including protein synthesis. The "-some" suffix means a body or structure.

So, when you put them together, a ribosome is a structure made up of RNA and proteins that plays a crucial role in assembling amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) into long chains, or polypeptides, which eventually fold into functional proteins. Ribosomes are often described as the cell's protein factories and can be found in all living organisms.
