27. What is the difference between \"free\" ribosomes and \"attached\" ribosomes

Question

27. What is the difference between "free" ribosomes and "attached" ribosomes? Free ribosomes are found floating within vesicles, whereas attached ribosomes are found anchored to the endoplasmic reticulum Free ribosomes produce polypeptides that are exported from the cell, whereas attached ribosomes make polypeptides for mitochondria and chloroplasts. O Free ribosomes are not organelles, whereas attached ribosomes are organelles. O Free ribosomes produce polypeptides in the cytosol, whereas attached ribosomes produce polypeptides that are inserted into the ER Free ribosomes translate rRNA into polypeptides, whereas attached ribosomes translate mRNA into polypeptides

Explanation / Answer

option A is the right answer and remaining all were wrong.

option D is also wrong because free ribosomes which float in the cytosol produce polypeptides in the cytosol whereas attached ribosomes to endoplasmic reticulum produce polypeptides which are transported outside the cell
