Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins for the cell. They translate messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences into amino acid chains, which then fold into functional proteins. While ribosomes play a crucial role in protein production, they do not let things in and out of the cell or recycle old cell parts—that's the function of other cellular structures like the cell membrane and lysosomes, respectively.
