Why are ribosomes smaller in prokaryotes?

Answer 1

because their goal is to make a population and not an individuum, they have no properties to organize as multicellular organisms

Answer 2

Ribosomes are smaller in prokaryotes because they have different sizes and structures compared to eukaryotic ribosomes. Prokaryotic ribosomes (70S) consist of a small 30S subunit and a large 50S subunit, while eukaryotic ribosomes (80S) have a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. Additionally, the smaller size of prokaryotic ribosomes allows them to be more efficient in protein synthesis.

Answer 3

to get the facts staight, prokaryotes are smaller. the ribosomes make proteins. since the cell is smaller, needs less proteins, the ribosomes are smaller and are sometimes dormant
