What is a free ribosome?

A free ribosome is a ribosome that is not attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum and is thus suspended in the cytoplasm.


What is the function of an attached ribosome?

An attached ribosome synthesizes proteins destined for the secretory pathway directly into the rough endoplasmic reticulum.


What is the job of the ribosome cell?

The ribosome is a small organelle which can be a "free" ribsome or an "attached" ribosome. The ribosome makes protein that is nessacary for the cell to carry out their processes. If a ribosome is free, then it floats around in a gelatin-like substance called cytoplasm in the cell. If a ribosome is attached, then it is located on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). If their is a ribosome attached to it, then it is considered the rough endoplasmic reticululm (RER). If their is no ribosome, then it is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER).


Where can you find a ribosome?

You can find a ribosome in a cell, either floating free in the cytoplasm, or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.


What ER with ribosome attached to its surface?

Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)


How can you tell from a rough from smooth ER?

The rough ER had ribosomes attached while the smooth ER had no ribosome attached.


What is the unattached ribosome in the cytosol?

We call these unattached ribosomes free ribosomes as they are not attached to a membrane.

What organelles is composed of two subunits and may be free in the cytosol or attached to rough ER?

Ribosome


Does each cell make proteins?

Yes. The organnelle that produces it is called a "ribosome" it is attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.


What is a small sphere attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum aka 'ER'?

A ribosome. Ribosomes are the small spherical organelles attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum. They produce proteins and code tRNA


Where are the ribosome located?

They are mainly in cytoplasm.Also attached to rough ER. Can be seen in mitochondria and chloroplasts
