Eukaryotic ribosome are between 25-30nm in diameter. They are larger than prokaryotic ribosomes which are approximately 20nm in diameter.

What do ribosomes look Ike?

Ribosomes structures vary. Some however have a large subunit on the top and a small subunit on the bottom


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.


What is two types of ribosomes and mitochondria?

The difference between ribosomes of prokaryotes and eukaryotes is the structure of the ribosomes. Prokaryotes have 70S ribosomes, each consisting of a small (30S) and a large (50S) subunit. Eukaryotes have 80S ribosomes, each consisting of a small (40S) and large (60S) subunit. In eukaryotes, the ribosomes may be classified as either 'free' or 'bound'. Free ribosomes may be found suspended in the cytosol whereas bound ribosomes are attached to endoplasmic reticulum (as such called rough endoplasmic reticulum).


Can DNA travel to the ribosome for protein synthesis?

No, as it is too large and long. The way it works is that only small parts (genes) are copied and then taken to the ribosomes.No, as it is too large and long. The way it works is that only small parts (genes) are copied and then taken to the ribosomes.
