Question

Eukaryotic ribosomes are

• A. 30 S
• B. 50 S
• C. 80 S
• D. 70 S

Answer 1

The correct option is C 80 S

• Ribosomes are known as protein factories because they are the main site of protein synthesis.
  
• They are composed of ribonucleic acids and proteins.
  
• In eukaryotes, the ribosome is 80S type.
• The larger subunit is 60S and smaller subunit is 40S.
• Each subunit is made up one or more of ribosomal RNA molecules and ribosomal proteins.
  
• So, the correct answer is '80 S'.
