    Question: Ribosomes are of 70S and 80S types seen in a cell. Which of the following statement is CORRECT regarding ā€˜S’?

    Options:

    ā€˜S’ stands for sedimentation coefficient unit only.
    It is a measure of size only.
    It is a measure of the density only.
    All of these

    Concept-
    Ribosomes are first observed under theĀ electron microscope by George Palade.
    They are composed ofĀ ribonucleic acid and proteinĀ and are not surrounded by anyĀ membrane.
    They are the site ofĀ protein synthesis.
    There are two types of ribosome
    Eukaryotic ribosomes- Ā 80s
    Prokaryotic ribosomes-Ā  70s
    Explanation-
    S = Svedberg unit or sedimentation rate.
    It indirectly is a measure ofĀ density and size.

    šŸ”‘Key Points:
    Ribosomes are also calledĀ ā€œOrganelle within an organelleā€ and ā€œProtein factory of the cellā€
    Ribosomes are theĀ smallest cell organelles.
