In Bacterial Ribosomes,a Small 30S Subunit and a Large 50S

question 60

Multiple Choice

In bacterial ribosomes,a small 30S subunit and a large 50S subunit come together to produce the functional 70S ribosome.Why isn't it an 80S ribosome?

• A)The ribosome will become an 80S complex when the protein it is producing starts to be formed.
• B)Additional factors are required for protein synthesis.When these are put with the ribosome,it will become an 80S ribosome complex.
• C)S stands for Svedberg units,which indicates the relative rate of sedimentation due to size,weight,and shape of a particle.The numbers aren't strictly additive.
• D)A portion of the larger 50S subunit is detached as the ribosomes come together,making the final complex a 70S ribosome instead of an 80S ribosome.
