Why do ribosomes float freely in cytoplasm and why are they also attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

It depends on the type of cell in question. In eukaryotic cells, the ribosomes are attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. As prokaryotic cells have no membrane-bound organelles, the ribosomes are free in the cytoplasm.

Are ribosomes floating freely in the cytoplasm?
Yes. Ribosomes are found both freely floating and attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
Are the ribosomes found floating freely in the cytoplasm?
Yes. Ribosomes are found both freely floating and attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
What organelle is attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum?
Ribosomes are attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What does the rough endoplasmic reticulum do?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is important in the synthesis and packaging of proteins. The ribosomes are attached to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. After the amino acid chain is complete the endoplasmic reticulum pinches off a vesicle for transport.
Are the major site of protein synthesis?
Ribosomes, which can either be attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum or free floating in the cytoplasm.
What is attached to the endoplasmic reticulum and scattered in the cytoplasm?
ribosomes

Found in cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum?
What is the Ribosomes Answered by the best HOTBOYJJ
Are ribosomes floating in the cytoplasm?
Yes. Ribosomes are found both freely floating and attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
Are the ribosomes found floating freely in the cytoplasm?
Yes. Ribosomes are found both freely floating and attached to the 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.
What organelle is attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum?
Ribosomes are attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum.
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.
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.
Why are proteins made in the cytoplasm and not in the nucleus?
Ribosomes in the Cytoplasm are identical to ribosomes on the ER, correctly called the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER). Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) extends throughout the Cytoplasm - without Ribosomes attached.
What do attached ribosomes do?
Ribosomes attach to the Endoplasmic Reticulum forming Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.
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.
