The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding where both 70s and 80s ribosomes are present, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Ribosomes**: - Ribosomes are cellular structures essential for protein synthesis. They are composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. 2. **Types of Ribosomes**: - There are two types of ribosomes based on their sedimentation rates: - **70s Ribosomes**: Found in prokaryotes and in the mitochondria and chloroplasts of eukaryotic cells. They are made up of two subunits: 50s and 30s. - **80s Ribosomes**: Found in eukaryotic cells, specifically in the cytoplasm and on the endoplasmic reticulum. They consist of 40s and 60s subunits. 3. **Identifying Locations**: - **Mitochondria**: Present in both plant and animal cells, contain 70s ribosomes. - **Chloroplasts**: Found in plant cells, also contain 70s ribosomes. - **Prokaryotic Cells**: Only contain 70s ribosomes. - **Eukaryotic Cells**: Contain both 70s ribosomes (in mitochondria) and 80s ribosomes (in the cytoplasm and on the endoplasmic reticulum). 4. **Conclusion**: - The only type of cell that contains both 70s and 80s ribosomes is the **eukaryotic cell**. ### Final Answer: Both 70s and 80s ribosomes are present in **eukaryotic cells**. ---
