Question

Ribosome of prokaryotes is while that of eukaryotes is : a. 70s, 80s b. 50s, 70s c. 80s, 70s d. 70s, 50s
Options
A 70s, 80s
Correct Answer
B 50s, 70s
C 80s, 70s
D 70s, 50s
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Ribosomes are measured in Svedberg units (S), which relate to their sedimentation rate. Prokaryotic cells have 70S ribosomes (composed of 50S and 30S subunits), while eukaryotic cells have larger 80S ribosomes (composed of 60S and 40S subunits).

Hint

Prokaryotes are simpler and smaller, so their ribosomes have a smaller S value.
