Ribosomes are mostly found associated with the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER or RER); however, some are also found free-floating in the cytoplasm.

What cell organelle is packed with ribosomes?

The endoplasmic reticulum (specifically the rough endoplasmic reticulum) is the cell organelle that is packed with ribosomes. Ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum are involved in protein synthesis.


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.


Which cell structures cause the outer surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum to appear rough?

The ribosomes attached to the outer surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum are responsible for its rough appearance. These ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, and their presence gives the rough endoplasmic reticulum its distinctive texture.


What makes the rough endoplasmic reticulum rough?

On the rough endoplasmic reticulum, it is rough due to the ribosomes that are on it. The Ribosomes create protein and send them into the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes are made inside the nucleolus.


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 endoplamic reticulum do?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum(RER) is concerned with the transport of proteins which are synthesised by the ribosomes present on their surface. The name "rough endoplasmic reticulum" is because it looks rough under a microscope due to the ribosomes...


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.


Some ribosomes are embedded into?

They can be attached to Rough ER(Endoplasmic Reticulum)


What is an Endoplasmic Reticulum with ribosomes?

They call it the rough endoplasmic reticulum, or rough ER


What is sprinkled with ribosomes?

The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, and The Cytoplasm


What do attached ribosomes do?

Ribosomes attach to the Endoplasmic Reticulum forming Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.


Name the two kinds of endoplasmic reticulum?

Two types of Endoplasmic Reticuli exists, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins -{from through}- VIA the ribosomes embedded within its structure. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of lipids and steroids.
