Write a note on Ribosomes prokaryotic cell.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Ribosomes of prokaryotes are associated with the plasma membrane of the cell.
They are about 15 nm by 20 nm in size and are made up of two subunits - 50S and 30S units which when present together form 70S prokaryotic ribosomes. Several ribosomes may attach to a single mRNA and form a chain called polyribosomes or polysome.
Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis.
