Open in App
Solution

The 70 S ribosome are found is prokaryotes and 50 S & 30 S are its two subunits. It should be noted that 50 S and 30 S are not added to make a ribosome. Both these subunits together are named 70S based on the speed these moves together in the centrifuge. When these subunits are moved separately in the centrifuge, they move with different speed, so they are named as the 50 S & 30 S.
