Free ribosomes.
Proteins are synthesized in ribosomes, which can be found in the cytosol of a cell. Ribosomes are responsible for translating the genetic information from mRNA into protein molecules.
The Ribosomes. The "Work Benches" of the protein synthesis.
The RNA that exits the nuclear pores to the cytosol on its way to the ribosome is called messenger RNA (mRNA). It carries the genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes for protein synthesis.
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.
Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis that is suspended in the cytosol. They produce proteins for use within the cell by translating mRNA into amino acid sequences.
Free ribosomes.
We call these unattached ribosomes free ribosomes as they are not attached to a membrane.
There are two places that ribosomes usually exist in the cell: suspended in the cytosol and bound to the endoplasmic reticulum. These ribosomes are called free ribosomes and bound ribosomes respectively.
Proteins are synthesized in ribosomes, which can be found in the cytosol of a cell. Ribosomes are responsible for translating the genetic information from mRNA into protein molecules.
Free Ribosomes make proteins that funciton within the the Cytosol.
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.
Proteins are translated from mRNA in ribosomes. They can either be free-floating ribosomes in the cytosol, or attached ribosomes on the rough ER.

Ribosomes
Ribosomes can be found as free ribosomes in the cytosol and also on the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Both are involved in protein synthesis. In cells that are prokaryotes, like bacteria, they are only found free.
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.
