Pick up the choice which is true about subunits of eukaryotic ribosomes:
Correct answer: A. The larger subunits sediments at 60S while smaller subunits sediments at 40S.
- A. The larger subunits sediments at 60S while smaller subunits sediments at 40S.
- B. The larger subunit sediments at 50S, while smaller subunit sediments at 30S.
- C. The larger subunit sediments at 60S, while smaller subunit sediments at 30S.
- D. The larger subunit sediments at 50S, while smaller subunit sediments at 40S.
Explanation
The larger subunit (60S) have higher rate of sedimentation as compared to smaller one (40S), for eukaryotes

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
