Question

what is difference between 80s and 70s ribosomes

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Based on presence in organism.

• 80s present in eukaryotes.
• 70s present in prokaryotes and in mitochondria and choloroplast.

2. Based on subunits.

• 80s = 60s + 40s
• 70s = 50s + 30s

Note: They're not algevrically added. The 's' represents sedimentation unit which is taken from the centifuge.

Answer 2

In eukeryotes the similar complexes have 80s sedimentation coefficient the two subunits of prokeryotic ribosomes have sedimentation values of 50s and 30s but together make ribosomes.
