Where are ribosomes location in the cell?

Ribosomes come in two types, free or attached. Free ribosomes are found throughout the cytoplasm while attached ribosomes are connected directly to the endoplasmic reticulum.


Are free ribosomes found in a cell's cytoplasm?

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


Small two-part structures in a cell that make proteins?

ribosomes


Which cell structures are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum?

Nucleus and ribosomes.


What is attached together by a ribosome?

Bound ribosomes are found on the rough endoplasmic reticulum in a cell. Free ribosomes are found scattered throughout the cell.


What is the difference in function between free ribosomes and attached ribosomes?

Free ribosomes are found in the cytosol, which is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm, and are responsible for manufacturing proteins that will function as http://www.answers.com/topic/soluble proteins within the cytoplasm or form structural elements, including the cytoskeleton, that are found within the cytosol.


What is a bound ribosomes?

Ribosomes are microscopic particles that are responsible for protein synthesis. Membrane-bound ribosomes are ribosomes that are attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum of the cell.


What is the difference between ribosomes in the cytosol and ribosomes in er?

Ribosomes in the cytosol synthesize proteins for immediate use within the cell, while ribosomes attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) synthesize proteins that are destined for secretion or insertion into the cell membrane. The presence of ribosomes on the ER allows for co-translational protein processing and modification.


What are free ribisomes?

Organelles that help in the making of proteins. Some ribosomes are found in the cytoplasm, but most are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. While attached to the ER, ribosomes make proteins that the cell needs and also ones to be exported from the cell for work elsewhere in the body.


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


What is the ER with ribosomes attached to its surface?

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) with ribosomes attached to its surface is called rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). Ribosomes on the RER are responsible for protein synthesis, which is then transported throughout the cell or secreted outside the cell.


What organelles produce proteins in the cell?

Ribosomes produce the proteins needed in a cell
