Ribosomes are organelles involved in protein - synthesis. Some ribosomes float freely in the cytoplasm, while others are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The ER - attached ribosomes mainly synthesize proteins that are either secreted from the cell or incorporated into the cell membrane or other organelles, while free - floating ribosomes make proteins that function within the cytoplasm.
