Why are ribosomes often found attached to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum?
|
|
One being hydrophilic and the other hydrophobic, they attract each other
|
|
|
Ribosomes produce sugars converted into energy by the endoplasmic reticulum
|
|
|
The function of both organelles is associated with the synthesis of proteins
|
|
|
These organelles work together to transport and store water and other materials

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ribosomes are found ‘free’ in the cytoplasm or bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to form rough ER. In a mammalian cell there can be as many as 10 million ribosomes. Several ribosomes can be attached to the same mRNA strand, this structure is called a polysome. Ribosomes have only a temporary existence.
Detailed explanation-2: -Final Answer: Ribosomes are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum through a glycoprotein known as Ribophorin I and II.
