Organelles composed of RNA molecules and proteins that carry out the process of synthesis are called ribosomes. They can be found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

In eukaryotic cells, ribosomes can be found attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum or floating in the cytoplasm. While in bacteria, all ribosomes are free floating in the cytoplasm.
