The correct Answer is:
To solve the question about how the cytoribosomes of eukaryotes differ from those of bacterial cells, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Basics of Ribosomes**: - Ribosomes are the cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis. They can be found in both prokaryotic (bacterial) and eukaryotic cells. 2. **Identify the Types of Ribosomes**: - Ribosomes are categorized based on their size, measured in Svedberg units (S). - Prokaryotic ribosomes are classified as 70S, while eukaryotic ribosomes are classified as 80S. 3. **Compare Ribosome Sizes**: - The 70S ribosomes found in bacteria are smaller than the 80S ribosomes found in eukaryotic cells. This is a key difference between the two types of cells. 4. **Consider Other Differences**: - While the size is a primary difference, there are also variations in the chemical composition and structure of the ribosomes between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. However, the most notable difference is the size. 5. **Evaluate the Options**: - Option A states "smaller size 70S type" which refers to prokaryotes, not eukaryotes. - Option B states "larger size 80S type" which is correct for eukaryotes. - Option C mentions "differential chemical structure," which is somewhat true but not the primary distinguishing factor. - Option D states "all of the above," which is misleading since only option B is correct regarding eukaryotic ribosomes. 6. **Select the Correct Answer**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option B: larger size 80S type**. ### Final Answer: The cytoribosomes of eukaryotes are different from those of bacterial cells in having a larger size, specifically the 80S type. ---
