How are ribosomes structured in a plant cell?

Ribosomes in a cell are located in two regions of the cytoplasm. They are found scattered in the cytoplasm and some are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. When the ribosomes are bound to the ER there are known as the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The bound and the free ribosomes are similar in structure and are invloved in protein synthesis. read more

In a cell, ribosomes are located in two regions of the cytoplasm. Some ribosomes are found scattered in the cytoplasm (referred to as free ribosomes), while others are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (bound ribosomes). Accordingly, the surface of endoplasmic reticulum when bound with ribosomes is called rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). read more

This section of the site takes a look at cell organelles. Here we take a look at the Ribosome and its structure. We then discuss the function that Ribosomes play within the cell. read more
