multiple select question select all that apply ribosomes can be found: bound to the endoplasmic reticulum attached to the plasma membrane bound to the golgi apparatus free within the cytoplasm
Ribosomes are cellular structures involved in protein synthesis. They can be found either free in the cytoplasm (where they synthesize proteins for use within the cell) or bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (specifically the rough endoplasmic reticulum, where they synthesize proteins that will be exported or used in membranes). Ribosomes are not typically attached to the plasma membrane or bound to the Golgi apparatus.
