Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bound ribosomes are present on the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, which give it a "rough" appearance. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks these bound ribosomes. Free ribosomes are present in the cytoplasm and are not specific to either RER or SER. Peroxisomes and lysosomes are not associated with the endoplasmic reticulum.
