The ribosome is a small organelle which can be a "free" ribsome or an "attached" ribosome. The ribosome makes protein that is nessacary for the cell to carry out their processes. If a ribosome is free, then it floats around in a Gelatin-like substance called cytoplasm in the cell. If a ribosome is attached, then it is located on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). If their is a ribosome attached to it, then it is considered the rough endoplasmic reticululm (RER). If their is no ribosome, then it is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER).
