Question
- what are the differences between ribosomes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes? prokaryotes have ribosomes, but eukaryotes lack them. prokaryotes have bigger ribosomes than eukaryotes. eukaryotes have no ribosomes, but prokaryotes do. prokaryotes have smaller ribosomes than eukaryotes.
Brief Explanations
Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have ribosomes. Prokaryotic ribosomes are 70S (composed of 30S and 50S subunits), while eukaryotic ribosomes are 80S (composed of 40S and 60S subunits), so prokaryotes have smaller ribosomes.
