70S refers to the rate of sedimentation of the ribosome in a centrifuge. You can almost think of it as a unit of size. The "S" is a unit of measurement called the Svedberg unit. Ribosomes contain two subunits. In prokaryotes, these subunits are 50S (large) and 30S (small). The total ribosome with both subunits is 70S in prokaryotes. (Notice that 30 + 50 = 80 and not 70. Remember this is not size and the rate of sedimentation is less when the subunits are bound then when they are separated.) Eukaryotic cells have 80S ribosomes: 60S (large) and 40S (small) subunits.

How is ribosomes like a zoo?
Ribosomes produce proteins. In a zoo, ribosomes would most likely be a food vendor.
What does ribosome make?
Ribosomes synthesize protein.
Protein factories of the cell?
Ribosomes
Why do dogs have ribosomes?
Dogs also need proteins.So they need ribosomes.
Ribosomes arae mini what?
Ribosomes aren't mini anything, really. They are made up of rRNA, are not surrounded by a membrane and their function is to assemble polypeptides (make proteins).
Does E coli cells have ribosomes?
yes.They have 70s ribosomes.All prokariyotes have 70s ribosomes
Are ribosomes in the planet or animal cell?
Ribosomes can be seen in every living cell.70s ribosomes in prokaryotes and 70s and 80s in eukaryotes.
Do prokayotes have ribosomes?
Of course they have ribosomes.They have 70s ribosomes in them.
Prokaryotes have ribosomes?
Yes they have ribosomes.They have 70s ribosomes
Do archeabacteria have ribosomes?
Yes they have ribosomes.They have 70s ribosomes
Is the ribosomes a eukaryotic?
They have 80s ribosomes.Prokariyotes have 70s ribosomes
Does prokaryote have ribosomes?
Yes, prokaryotes have ribosomes.They have 70s ribosmes.They are smaller than eukariyotic 80s ribosomes
What are the differences between prokaryotic ribosomes and eukaryotic ribosomes?
Prokaryotic ribosomes are single celled ribosomes and eukryotic ribosomes are multi cellular ribosomes
What are 70s ribosomes?
They are found in prokaryotes. Eukaryotes have 80s ribosomes
Are there 705 ribosomes in mitochondria?
That is not 705 ribosomes.They have 70s ribosomes.
Why ribosomes are of 70s in mitochondria of eukaryotic cell?
Prokaryotes have 70S ribosomes, each consisting of a small (30S) and a large (50S) subunit.
Is ribosomes a prokaryotes?
70s ribosomes are in prokaryotes.80s ribosomes are found only in eukaryotes.
