Which of the following cell organelle floats freely in the cell’s cytoplasm or is embedded within the endoplasmic reticulum?

Which of the following cell organelle floats freely in the cell’s cytoplasm or is embedded within the endoplasmic reticulum? Correct Answer Ribosomes

The correct answer is Option(1).i.e.Ribosomes. 

  • Ribosomes floats freely in the cell’s cytoplasm or is embedded within the endoplasmic reticulum. 
  • Cell Organelles: 
    • Cell Organelles are define as the membrane-bound cellular components.
    • These cell organelles are present within the cells and are independent in their functions.
    • They coordinate with their structures & functions effectively for the normal functioning of the cell. 
  • Single membrane-bound organelles:
    • Endoplasmic Reticulum, Lysosome, Vacuole, Golgi Apparatus, are called single membrane-bound organelles.
    • They are present only in a eukaryotic cell. 
  • Double membrane-bound organelles:
    • Chloroplast & Mitochondria are double membrane-bound organelles.
    • Ther are present only in a eukaryotic cell. 
  • The following table shows various structures of cell organelles with their respective functions. 
    Types of Cell Organelles
    Name Structure Functions
    Ribosomes
    • Non-membrane organelles, embedded within the endoplasmic reticulum.
    • Found floating freely in the cell’s cytoplasm.
    • Involved in the Proteins Synthesis.
    Lysosomes
    • A tiny, single membrane-bound organelle.
    • It is circular-shaped.
    • It's filled with digestive enzymes.
    • Helps in digestion and digests dead damaged cells & removes wastes also.
    • For that reason, it is called “suicidal bags”.
    Mitochondria
    • An oval-shaped, membrane-bound organelle.
    • This cell organelle is known as the “Power House of The Cell”.
    • The main functions of cellular respiration.
    • Storage energy in the form of ATP molecules.
