Why are some ribosomes are free in cytosol some are attached to endoplasmic reticulum what is the difference?

The RER is a cell's protein making machinery for proteins which are destined to be secreted from the cell (e.g insulin, growth hormone, cell signaling molecules, etc.) or for those which are going to be stored inside a cellular vesicle (e.g. digestive proteins inside lysozomes). The RER ribosomes assembl the proteins and then the proteins are shuttled to the Golgi apparatus where they are packaged and labeled for secretion.
Ribosomes free floating in the cytoplasm assemble proteins that the cell uses internally for it's own metabolic or structural needs.

What organelle is attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum?
Ribosomes are attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What is the main difference of smooth and rough ER?
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is with ribosomes attached and helps in protein synthesisSmooth Endoplasmic Reticulum no 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.
Name the two kinds of endoplasmic reticulum?
Two types of Endoplasmic Reticuli exists, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins -{from through}- VIA the ribosomes embedded within its structure. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of lipids and steroids.
What other organelle is attached and closely associated with the endoplasmic reticulum?
Ribosomes, the compenents to making protein are attached to the rough endoplasmic recticulm. The Smooth endoplasmic rectilum DOES NOT habe ribosomes attached.
What organelle is attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum?
Ribosomes are attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What are attached to ribosomes?
Fixed ribosomes are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. The ribosomes are organelles that are suspended in the cytosol which is bound to the endoplasmic reticulum.
What is the main difference of smooth and rough ER?
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is with ribosomes attached and helps in protein synthesisSmooth Endoplasmic Reticulum no ribosomes
What do attached ribosomes do?
Ribosomes attach to the Endoplasmic Reticulum forming Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.
What is the difference between a rough ER and a soft?
rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is with ribosomes attached .helps in protein synthesis Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum no ribosomes
What organelle has ribosomes attached to it's surface?
Ribosomes can be attached to endoplasmic reticulum, and when ribosomes are attached, it is called rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Endoplasmic reticulum with ribosomes attached to it is called?
Rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What small structures are found attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
what sometimes found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum ? and give me the full defenition
What does the endoplasmic reticulum have attached to it?
Ribosomes.
What does rough endoplasmic reticulum have embedded on its surface?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a studded, "rough" appearance. Ribosomes are small organelles that manufacture proteins in a cell. Conversely, the smooth endoplasmic reticulum has no ribosomes attached to its surface.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum has what attached to its surface?
Rough endoplasmic reticulum have ribosomes (protein-producing structures) attached to them.
Some ribosomes are embedded into?
They can be attached to Rough ER(Endoplasmic Reticulum)
