How many types of ribosomes are there?

There are two main types of ribosomes in cells: free ribosomes, which are found floating in the cytoplasm, and bound ribosomes, which are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Both types are responsible for protein synthesis within the cell.


Which organelle in the plant leaf cell lacks a membrane?

Ribosomes are the organelles in a plant leaf cell that lack a membrane. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis and can be found free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.


Is a ribosome an animal cell?

yes, there two types of ribosomes , free or attached. Free ribosomes are found throughout the cytoplasm while attached ribosomes are connected directly to the endoplasmic reticulum


Is the Endoplasmic reticulum located in both the plant cell or animal cell?

The endoplamic reticulum is like a platform of membranous sacs, where it could either be free(lacking ribosomes) or rough having assosiated ribosomes). mRNA attaches to a ribosome for the synthesis of the protein(polypeptide). Hence, The endoplasmic reticculum is found in both animal an plant cells, since both synthesise protein.


Where in a cell makes proteins in an animal cell?

Proteins are made in the ribosomes of a cell. In animal cells, ribosomes can be found free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The ribosomes read the instructions from messenger RNA (mRNA) to assemble amino acids into proteins.


Ribosomes in animal cells?

Ribosomes in animal cells are responsible for protein synthesis. They are either free in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes translate the genetic information from mRNA into proteins by assembling amino acids in the correct order.


What are unattached ribosomes in the cytosol called?

Free ribosomes.


What are ribosome and free ribosomes and what do they do in animal cells?

Ribosomes are cellular organelles that are responsible for protein synthesis. Free ribosomes are ribosomes that are found floating in the cytoplasm, where they synthesize proteins that will remain within the cell. They play a crucial role in building proteins that are needed for various cellular functions in animal cells.


What structures do the two types of cells have in common?

If by "the two types of cells" you mean plant and animal, then: Nucleus Mitochondria Cell membrane Endoplasmic Reticulum Ribosomes Vacuole Golgi Bodies/Apparatus Lysosomes (more common in animal cells) Only plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts. If you mean Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes: Eukaryotic cells contain what is shown above. Prokaryotic cells contain nothing but nuclear information floating free (nucleoid) and ribosomes surrounded by a cell membrane and wall. They also have a flagellum to move about with. All cells contain cytoplasm.


Why would a cell have free ribosomes?

Free Ribosomes make proteins that funciton within the the Cytosol.


Are free ribosomes found in a cell's cytoplasm?

Yes there are free ribosomes. But many are attached to ER


Where are the ribosomes located at the animal cell?

Ribosomes which make extracellular proteins (proteins which are used outside of the cell) are located on the rER (rough ER). Ribosomes which make proteins which remain in the cell are free floating in the cell's cytoplasm.
