Ribosomes. They are the actual site of protein synthesis and float free or are attached to a membranous structure (rough ER) in the cytoplasm.

What are the types of proteins synthesize in the free ribosome?

Free ribosomes synthesize proteins that are soluble in the cytoplasm, such as enzymes, structural proteins, and proteins involved in intracellular signaling pathways. These proteins do not have a specific subcellular localization and function within the cytoplasm of the cell.


Some ribosomes are free in the cytoplasm while others line the membrane of the?

endoplasmic reticulum. Free ribosomes synthesize proteins for use within the cell, while membrane-bound ribosomes (attached to the endoplasmic reticulum) synthesize proteins that are destined for secretion or insertion into cell membranes.


What is the difference in function between free ribosomes and attached ribosomes?

Free ribosomes are found in the cytosol, which is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm, and are responsible for manufacturing proteins that will function as http://www.answers.com/topic/soluble proteins within the cytoplasm or form structural elements, including the cytoskeleton, that are found within the cytosol.


What are free ribisomes?

Organelles that help in the making of proteins. Some ribosomes are found in the cytoplasm, but most are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. While attached to the ER, ribosomes make proteins that the cell needs and also ones to be exported from the cell for work elsewhere in the body.


What happens after ribosomes pass into the cytoplasm?

After ribosomes pass into the cytoplasm, they can either remain free-floating and synthesize proteins in the cytosol or become attached to the endoplasmic reticulum to form rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). Ribosomes on the RER are involved in synthesizing proteins destined for secretion or insertion into the cell membrane.

What structure is found free in the cytoplasm and attached to the ER?

Ribosomes are the structures found free in the cytoplasm and attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). When ribosomes are free, they typically synthesize proteins that function within the cytosol. When attached to the rough ER, they produce proteins destined for secretion or for use in the cell membrane. This dual localization allows ribosomes to play a crucial role in protein synthesis in different cellular contexts.

How is a virus different from eukaryote?

A virus is considers a prokaryotic cell which only contains a cell membrane, cytoplasm and the DNA scattered in the cytoplasm. It is also a few times smaller than an eukaryotic cell which mostly contains a cell membrane, cytoplasm and a nucleus that contains the DNA.


Are the found freely floating in the cytoplasm?

Ribosomes are found freely in the cell cytoplasm and they are also found attached to a membrane system called the RER.

What is the generator of the cell?

Plasma Membrane- External boundary of the cell- Confines cell contents; regulates entry and exit of materials Lysosomes- Scattered in cytoplasm- Digest ingested materials and worn-out organelles Mitochondrion- Scattered throughout the cell- Control release of energy from food; from ATP Microvilli- Projections of the plasma membrane- Increase the membrane surface area Golgi apparatus- Near the nucleus ( in the cytoplasm )- Packages proteins to be incorporated into the plasma membrane or lysosomes or exported from the cell


What the structure of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

It contains flattened sacs called cisternae. Ribosomes are attached to outer surface of its membrane. It is specialized to synthesize proteins.


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.
