Answer 1

Dear student.

Inclusion body are non living, temporary substances present in the cytoplasm. They are products of metabolism and can be granules or crystals.

Ribosomes

* Granular structures, first observed by George Palade under an electron microscope

* Composition: RNA and proteins

* Not surrounded by any membrane

* Prokaryotic cells have ribosomes 70SE. Eukaryotic ribosomes are 80S. S stands for Svedberg unit, and is indicative of density and size.

Ribosome plays a very important role in prtoein synthesis.
