80S ribosomes are present in eukaryotes. What does S stand for and what does it indirectly measure?

Easy

A

S stands for Svedberg's unit and it is an indirect measurement of the size and density of the ribosome.
B

S stands for Schwann's coefficient and it is an indirect measurement of the size and density of the ribosome.
C

S stands for surface area and it is an indirect measurement of the number of rRNA present in the ribosome.
D

S stands for Svedberg's unit and it is an indirect measurement of the number of rRNA present in the ribosome.

Solution

‘S’ (Svedberg’s Unit) stands for the sedimentation coefficient; it is indirectly a measure of density and size.
