Answer:

In the Ribosomes, the subunits are classified as per Sedimentation rate. S is the Svedberg's unit. The sedimentation rate for a particle of a given size and shape measures how fast the particle 'settles'. Here, the overall Sedimentation rate turns out to be the 70s. We can split the 70s Ribosomes into its respective subunit i.e. 50s and 30s.

Explanation:

The 50s subunit has 23s rRNA+ 5s rRNA + 31 protein. The 30s subunit has 16s rRNA + 21 proteins, and this comprises the 70S Ribosomes
