Are ribosomes floating freely in the cytoplasm?

Yes. Ribosomes are found both freely floating and attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.


What part of the cell contains ribosomes?

ribosomes are on the endoplasmic reticulum


Where in the cell are ribosomes found?

Ribosomes are found on the rough endoplasmic reticulum and floating 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.


Where do ribosome live?

Ribosomes are found in both eukaryotic cells (in the cytoplasm and on the endoplasmic reticulum) and prokaryotic cells (free-floating in the cytoplasm). They are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.


Where are ribosomes present a part from rough endoplasmic reticulum?

Ribosomes are mostly found associated with the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER or RER); however, some are also found free-floating in the cytoplasm.


Are ribosomes found freely floating in cytoplasm or are they found attached to another organelle?

It depends if the cell in question is a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell. In prokaryotic cells, the ribosomes are free in the cytoplasm as there are no membrane-bound organelles. In eukaryotic cells, the ribosomes are attached to the rough 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.


Ribosomes are found?

Ribosomes are found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In eukaryotic cells, they can be found in the cytoplasm and attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell by translating messenger RNA into proteins.


What is true of prokaryotes but not eukaryotes?

A eukaryote has a 'true' (membrane enclosed) nucleus and extensive system of membrane enclosed organelles, such as; mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus ect. and the ribosomes are found both free in the cytoplasm and attached to the rough ER. Prokaryotes have no membrane enclosed organelles or nucleus and the chromatin material is free is the cytoplasm, often in a "nuclear area", the Ribosomes in prokaryotes are all free in the cytoplasm.


What are ribosomes made of and in what two places can they be found in a cell?

Ribosomes are made both of nucleic acids (rRNA) and protein components. They're found in the cytoplasm of the cell which surrounds the nucleus, and also attached to the rough endoplasmatic reticulum (they are the reason why it is called rough).


What site of protein synthesis found in cytoplasm and on rough er?

If your question is "What is the site of the protein synthesis that occurs in the cytoplasm and on the rough ER?" then the answer is as follows: Protein synthesis occurs in both cases at the ribosomes, which are protein and RNA structures that catalyse the steps of protein synthesis. There are ribosomes free in the cytoplasm and attached to the rough ER. The proteins are processed in the cytoplasm or the ER after synthesis, this involves processes such as folding. The finished proteins are found free in the cytoplasm if they are synthesised by cytoplasmic ribosomes. If they are synthesised on the ER they are transported across the ER membrane into the lumen of the ER and stored in vesicles or released into the interstitial space via secretory vesicles.
