Answer for above.

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits: a large subunit, shown on the left, and a small subunit, shown on the right. The term "small" is relative as both the large and the small subunits are huge compared to say the average protein. Both subunits are composed of long strands of RNA, shown here in orange and yellow. Protein chains are shown in blue. When making a new protein, the two subunits lock together with the messenger RNA threaded through them. The ribosome then advances down the messenger RNA three nucleotides at a time, building a new protein one amino acid after another.
