The organelle associated with ribosomes is the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER). The rough ER has ribosomes attached to its cytoplasmic surface, giving it a "rough" appearance. These ribosomes are essential for protein synthesis, translating messenger RNA into polypeptides that are then processed and folded in the rough ER. Additionally, ribosomes can also be found freely floating in the cytoplasm, where they perform similar functions.
