The rough endoplasmic reticulum(RER) appear rough when observed under a microscope because the outer region of the RER is studded with ribosomes which form sites for protein synthesis.

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 organelle is attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum?

Ribosomes are the organelles attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes play a key role in protein synthesis, and their presence on the rough endoplasmic reticulum provides a platform for translation and processing of newly synthesized proteins.


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.


What do attached ribosomes do?

Ribosomes attach to the Endoplasmic Reticulum forming Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.


What does the endoplasmic reticulum have attached to it?

Ribosomes.


Endoplasmic reticulum with ribosomes attached to it is called?

Rough endoplasmic reticulum.


What small structures are found attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

Ribosomes are the small structures found attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. These ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis within the cell and give the rough endoplasmic reticulum its characteristic rough appearance.


Are ribosomes always found in the endoplasmic reticulum?

No, ribosomes are not always found in the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes can be free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes attached to the endoplasmic reticulum are called rough endoplasmic reticulum, while ribosomes in the cytoplasm are called free ribosomes.


What is sprinkled with ribosomes?

The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, and The Cytoplasm


What does rough endoplasmic reticulum have embedded on its surface?

Ribosomes are embedded on the surface of rough endoplasmic reticulum. These ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, and their presence gives the rough endoplasmic reticulum its characteristic bumpy appearance.


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.


What consists of a network of intracellular membranes with attached ribosomes?

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) consists of a network of intracellular membranes with attached ribosomes. Rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface, where proteins are synthesized, while smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
