Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ribosomes that produce proteins to be secreted are usually attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, where the proteins will be packaged, modified, and transported to the Golgi apparatus for further processing and sorting. Only after passing through the Golgi, the proteins can be transported to the plasma membrane, where they can be released as a secretion. Hormones are a type of secreted proteins. Therefore, the ribosomes that synthesize hormones will most likely be attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
