Which of the following organelle consist of two subunits?
Correct answer: C. Ribosome
- A. Golgi body
- B. Mitochondria
- C. Ribosome
- D. Plastid
Explanation
A ribosome is made up of two sub-units, larger and smaller subunits. In case of eukaryotic cells, larger subunit is 60s and smaller subunit is 40s while prokaryotic cells have 50s and 30s larger and smaller subunits, respectively.

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.
