Detailed explanation-2: -Ribosomes float freely in the cytoplasm or sometimes bind to another organelle called the endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final Answer: Ribosomes are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum through a glycoprotein known as Ribophorin I and II. A larger subunit of ribosomes gets attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-4: -ribosome, particle that is present in large numbers in all living cells and serves as the site of protein synthesis. Ribosomes occur both as free particles in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and as particles attached to the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotic cells.
