Detailed explanation-1: -Bacterial cytoplasm contains ribosomes that translate mRNA into proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -The bacterial ribosome (70S) is composed of two asymmetric subunits, the 30S and the 50S subunit, which assemble at the ribosome binding site on the mRNA during translation initiation. Each subunit contributes to specific functions in protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -In most bacteria, the most numerous intracellular structure is the ribosome which is the site of protein synthesis in all living organisms. All prokaryotes have 70S (where S=Svedberg units) ribosomes while eukaryotes contain larger 80S ribosomes in their cytosol. The 70S ribosome is made up of a 50S and 30S subunits.

Detailed explanation-4: -The bacteria are the prokaryotic organisms which do not have cellular organelles. The ribosomes are not associated with endoplasmic reticulum in the bacteria and are dispersed in the cytoplasm. There are 70S ribosomes in the bacterial cytoplasm which translate the mRNA to protein.

Detailed explanation-5: -A typical bacterium may have as many as 15, 000 ribosomes. Ribosomes are composed of two subunits that come together to translate messenger RNA (mRNA) into polypeptides and proteins during translation and are typically described in terms of their density.
