Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ribosomes are the smallest organelle present in the cell irrespective of the type of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ribosomes are the smallest cell organelles. They are not membrane bound and have important role in synthesis of proteins. They are found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lysosome: Lysosome is large, 0.1-1.2 µm in size. Ribosome: Ribosome is comparatively small, 20-30 nm in size.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ribosomes are the cell organelle that is present inside the other cell organelles like endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and chloroplast. They are known as an organelle within an organelle.
