5 Questions
How are prokaryotic ribosomes structured?
Prokaryotic ribosomes are constructed from proteins and ribosomal RNA (rRNA), with a size of 70S.
What is the function of ribosomes in prokaryotic cells?
Ribosomes function as a workbench for protein synthesis (translation).
How do ribosomes contribute to protein synthesis in prokaryotic cells?
Ribosomes join amino acids to form a polypeptide chain during protein synthesis.
What is the purpose of inclusions in prokaryotic cells?
Inclusions allow some prokaryotic cells to store excess nutrients within cytoplasmic structures.
What distinguishes prokaryotic ribosomes from eukaryotic cytoplasmic ribosomes?
Prokaryotic ribosomes have a size of 70S, while eukaryotic cytoplasmic ribosomes have a size of 80S.
Test your knowledge about cellular inclusions like volutin granules and storage forms of carbon, as well as the structure and characteristics of chromosomes in cell biology.
