Ribosome

Explanation:

Ribosomes are the smallest organelle in the common cells. The ribosome's main job is to create protein for the cell, which is a very important necessity of the cell. Ribosomes are usually found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, which surrounds the nucleus, or they are found floating in the cytoplasm As you can see, the ribosomes are the small circles that are scattered throughout the cell. You can look off the diagram for other terms too. Hope this helps!
