Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Bound ribosomes are found on the mitochondria
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Solution : Ribosomes are non-membrane bound organelles found in all cells-both eukaryotic as well as prokaryoric. Within the cell, ribosomes are found not only in the cytoplasm but also within the two organelles-chloroplasts (in plants) and mitochondria and on rough ER.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ribosomes are present in the cytoplasm of bacterial and eukaryotic cells. They are also present within semiautonomous eukaryotic organelles of bacterial ancestry, namely mitochondria and chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ribosomes are mainly found bound to the endoplasmic reticulum and the nuclear envelope, as well as freely scattered throughout the cytoplasm, depending upon whether the cell is plant, animal, or bacteria.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria are bounded by a double-membrane system, consisting of inner and outer membranes. Folds of the inner membrane (cristae) extend into the matrix.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chloroplasts and mitochondria are semi-autonomous organelles. So, they have ribosomes to manufacture the proteins that they need. Ribosomes are embedded in the membranes of the rough endoplasmic recticulum (ER).
