Post by: tyressjones on Apr 23, 2017
What is the difference between "free" and "attached" ribosomes?
A) Free ribosomes occur in the cytoplasm, whereas attached ribosomes are found on the endoplasmic reticulum.
B) Free ribosomes produce proteins, whereas attached ribosomes produce carbohydrates.
C) Free ribosomes produce proteins that are exported from the cell, whereas attached ribosomes make proteins for mitochondria and chloroplasts.
D) Free ribosomes are readily "used up" by the cell and are replaced frequently, whereas attached ribosomes remain functional for the lifetime of the cell.
