Question

Ribosomes are found: Select one: a. on smooth endoplasmic reticulum b. on the rough endoplasmic reticulum c. in the cytoplasm d. in the cytoplasm and on the rough endoplasmic reticulum e. on the Golgi apparatus

Answer 1

The answers is D

Step-by-step explanation:

Ribosomes are numerous, small, round organelles that perform the function of protein production in the cell. They are found as freely-floating organelles in the cytoplasm and attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Ribosomes found as free-floating within the cytoplasm produce protein to be utilized within the cell while ribosomes attached to the endoplasmic reticulum are used inside the cell or outside the cell.
