Question

Type of ribosome present in cytosol and organelle of the eukaryotic cell are
a) 60S and 40S
b)80S and 70S
with explanation, please

Answer 1

Answer:

only 8OS

Explanation:

Ribosomes are present either scattered in the cytoplasm of the cell or sometimes attached to the endoplasmic reticulum making it a rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). Ribosomes are present in both eukaryotes as well as prokaryotes. The eukaryotic ribosomes are larger than the prokaryotic chromosomes. Thus, in eukaryotes, 80S ribosomes are present in which ‘S’ represents their sedimentation coefficient in the Svedberg unit, which implies that the sedimentation rate of ribosomes in eukaryotes is faster than the prokaryotes whose ribosomes are of 70S type.
