The S is the Svedberg unit, used to express sedimentation coefficients of biomolecules and cell components. It is essentially an express of speed. The smaller the S value, the slower the molecule moves in a centrifuge.
Sedimentation coefficients are not additive. A 70S ribosome is composed of a 50S subunit and a 30S subunit.

Actually, this does not stand for subunits. It stands for svedborg. This has to do with the rate of sedimentation while being centrifuged--a smaller number indicates a faster sedimentation rate.

It is the unit for sedimentation rate. Larger the value, larger the size of the particle.

What are the parts of the ribosome?
In eukariyotes there are two subunits.60s unit and 40s unit
Where must An MRNA Attach Before Protein Can Begin?
The ribosome.
what is the cell found in ribosomes?
ribosomes are not cells, they are organelles that produce and synthesize proteins. get it straight!
What organelle are proteins synthesized with?
It is the ribosome. Proteins are synthesized on that
What happens when ribosome parts pass into cytoplasm?
The ribosome subunits come together and form a functioning ribosome.

The ribosome.
Why does 80s ribosome are written as 60s 40s ribosomes?
40s is the smaller subunit of ribosome and 60s is the larger one, when combined together the overlapping between two subunits takes place and surface area decreases so therefore it becomes 80s after joining instead of 90s(40+60=90)
What is a ribosome constructed of?
What two things make up ribosomes and are are ribosomes surrounded by membrane like other organelles?
A ribosome is a biological molecule made of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins (ribosomal proteins). A ribosome is made of two pieces (subunits).A typical eukaryotic cell ribosome consists of two subunits named 60S (large subunit) and 40S (small). A prokaryotic cell ribosome is a little smaller but it is made of two subunits, too: a 50S and 30S subunit.No, it isn't surrounded by a membrane as some other organelles are.A ribosome is a biological molecule made of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins (ribosomal proteins).A ribosome is made of two pieces (subunits).

A ribosome is a biological molecule made of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins (ribosomal proteins). A ribosome is made of two pieces (subunits). A typical eukaryotic cell ribosome consists of two subunits named 60S (large subunit) and 40S (small). The 60S subunit is made of a 5S RNA (of 120 nucleotides), a 28S RNA (of 4700 nucleotides), a 5.8S subunit (of 160 nucleotides) and around 49 proteins. The 40S subunit, on the contrary, has a 1900 nucleotide (18S) RNA and approximately 33 proteins.

What sentence what 2 is the correct use of past tense There was no Starbucks in the 40s or There were no Starbucks in the 40s?
"There were no Starbucks in the 40s" is correct.

The ribosome subunits come together and form a functioning ribosome.
