An attached ribosome synthesizes proteins destined for the secretory pathway directly into the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What is the function of a ribosome?
A free ribosome is a ribosome that is not attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum and is thus suspended in the cytoplasm.
An attached ribosome is a ribosome that is bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. It is involved in the synthesis of proteins that are either secreted by the cell or inserted into the membrane. These proteins play crucial roles in various cellular functions.
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).
The function of the ribosome is to factor and create protiens
to make proteins
a ribosome produces the proteins
DNA does not carry out its function in the ribosome. DNA's main function is to store genetic information, which is then transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) to be translated in the ribosome to produce proteins.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
The rough ER had ribosomes attached while the smooth ER had no ribosome attached.
it is necessary for protein synthesis
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is attached to a ribosome during protein construction. The ribosome acts as the site where the mRNA is read and translated into a protein. As the ribosome moves along the mRNA, it synthesizes the corresponding protein based on the genetic information encoded in the mRNA molecule.
