Detailed Solution

Prokaryotic ribosomes, found in organisms like bacteria and archaea, are composed of two subunits. These are the small subunit (30S) and the large subunit (50S). In eukaryotic cells, which include those of animals, plants, fungi, and protists, ribosomes are also composed of two subunits. They are the small subunit (40S) and the large subunit (60S). 70S ribosomes are present both in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Ribosomes are not membrane bound.
