What does the S denote in 28s rna?

The 'S' in 28S rRNA stands for "Svedberg unit," which is a unit used to measure the sedimentation rate of a particle during centrifugation. The 28S rRNA molecule is a component of the larger subunit of eukaryotic ribosomes and plays a key role in protein synthesis.

What is the meaning of 70S ribosomes in prokaryotes?

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.

What are the seven fundamental qauntities?

The are several possible sets of measures that could be termed fundamental. For example time can be defined in terms of distance by considering the time taken by electromagnetic radiation to cover a specified distance. Having said that, the seven basic measurements are:metre (m) - unit of measurement of lengthkilogram (kg) - unit of measurement of masssecond (s) - unit of measurement of timekelvin (K) - unit of measurement of thermodynamic temperatureampere (A) - unit of measurement of electric currentmole (mol) - unit of measurement of amount of substancecandela (cd) - unit of measurement of luminous intensity
