multiple-choice question
ribosomes:
(check all that apply)
create proteins
are membrane bound organelles
can be free in the cytoplasm or attached to another organelle
are not membrane bound organelles

Explanation:

Ribosomes are cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis (translation). They lack a surrounding membrane, so they are not membrane-bound organelles. They exist in two forms: free in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Answer:

• create proteins
• can be free in the cytoplasm or attached to another organelle
• are not membrane bound organelles
