No not really some ribosomes will detach and flow in the cytoplasm as well.

Why do ribosomes float freely in cytoplasm and why are they also attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
It depends on the type of cell in question. In eukaryotic cells, the ribosomes are attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. As prokaryotic cells have no membrane-bound organelles, the ribosomes are free in the cytoplasm.
Are the ribosomes found floating freely in the cytoplasm?
Yes. Ribosomes are found both freely floating and attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
What are two places in the cell where the ribosomes are located?
There are two different locations where ribosomes can be found in a cell. These two locations are suspended in the cytosol and attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
Do plants have endoplasmic reticulum?
Yes they do, they can have a rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) that has ribosomes on it. Or a soft endoplasmic reticulum (SER) with no ribosomes on it. Hope this helps!
What does the rough endoplasmic reticulum do?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is important in the synthesis and packaging of proteins. The ribosomes are attached to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. After the amino acid chain is complete the endoplasmic reticulum pinches off a vesicle for transport.
Where do cells build their protein from?
Proteins are built at ribosomes, which may be free floating in the cytoplasm or attached to endoplasmic reticulum.
Why are ribosomes only in animal cells?
Ribosomes are found in all living cells. They function for protein synthesis and can be found in the cytoplasm of the cell or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What is found on the surface of a cells endoplasmic reticulum?
Some Ribosomes are found stuck to the surface of the Endoplasmic Reticulum.
How many are endoplasmic reticulum?
There are ribosomes in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, but they are not called cells. The rough endoplasmic reticulum and the ribosomes are all in a cell and ribosomes are organelles in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Which is an organelle found in the cytoplasm has a smooth outer membrane and greatly folded inner membrane?
Endoplasmic Reticulum: a series of highly folded membranes, "rough" endoplasmic reticulum has many ribosomes attached to it. "Smooth" endoplasmic reticulum has no ribosomes attached to it and is the structure where fats (lipids) are made but both types of endoplasmic reticulum carry materials through the cytoplasm.
What are three structures that cells have?
nucleus ribosomes rough endoplasmic reticulum
Do all cells have Endoplasmic Reticulum?
The endoplasmic reticulum is not uniform throughout the cell. In places the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum are joined to the outer membrane. The endoplasmic reticulum can either be smooth or rough. In rough endoplasmic reticulum the outer surface of the membranes are lined with ribosomes, in smooth endoplasmic reticulum, there are no ribosomes.
