  • Ribosomes: Structure and Components - What They Are Made Of
    Ribosomes are not surrounded by a membrane like other organelles.

    Here's why:

    * Ribosomes are not organelles: They are complex molecular machines responsible for protein synthesis, but they lack the membrane-bound structure that defines organelles.

    * Components of ribosomes: Ribosomes consist of two subunits: a large subunit and a small subunit. These subunits are composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins.

    Therefore, the two things that make up ribosomes are rRNA and proteins.
