Ribosomes. They are the actual site of protein synthesis and float free or are attached to a membranous structure (rough ER) in the cytoplasm.

How is a virus different from eukaryote?

A virus is considers a prokaryotic cell which only contains a cell membrane, cytoplasm and the DNA scattered in the cytoplasm. It is also a few times smaller than an eukaryotic cell which mostly contains a cell membrane, cytoplasm and a nucleus that contains the DNA.


Are the found freely floating in the cytoplasm?

Ribosomes are found freely in the cell cytoplasm and they are also found attached to a membrane system called the RER.


Is the cytoskeleton in the plasma membrane?

No. It is attached to the plasma membrane though, which is important. The cytoskeleton gives cells shape and rigidity etc and so it is important for it to be attached to the plasma membrane. The cytoskeleton is composed of molecules that are located in the cytoplasm but that are attached to the plasma membrane via specific proteins. Hope that helps!


What are the types of proteins synthesize in the free ribosome?

What is the region between the cell membrane and the nucleus called?

cytoplasm is located between the cell membrane and the nucleus.


What is the generator of the cell?

Plasma Membrane- External boundary of the cell- Confines cell contents; regulates entry and exit of materials Lysosomes- Scattered in cytoplasm- Digest ingested materials and worn-out organelles Mitochondrion- Scattered throughout the cell- Control release of energy from food; from ATP Microvilli- Projections of the plasma membrane- Increase the membrane surface area Golgi apparatus- Near the nucleus ( in the cytoplasm )- Packages proteins to be incorporated into the plasma membrane or lysosomes or exported from the cell


What the structure of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

It contains flattened sacs called cisternae. Ribosomes are attached to outer surface of its membrane. It is specialized to synthesize proteins.


Structure of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

It is abundant in exocrine pancreatic cells and antibodies secreting plasma cells. It contains flattened sacs called cisternae. Ribosomes are attached to outer surface of its membrane. It is specialized to synthesize proteins.


What is the difference in function between free ribosomes and attached ribosomes?

Free ribosomes are found in the cytosol, which is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm, and are responsible for manufacturing proteins that will function as http://www.answers.com/topic/soluble proteins within the cytoplasm or form structural elements, including the cytoskeleton, that are found within the cytosol.


Why do ribosomes float freely in cytoplasm and why are they also attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

It depends on the type of cell in question. In eukaryotic cells, the ribosomes are attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. As prokaryotic cells have no membrane-bound organelles, the ribosomes are free in the cytoplasm.
