Answer:

D) There are two major subunits, each with multiple proteins.

Explanation:

The ribosome is a complex structure made of RNA and proteins. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes have two subunits: small and large subunits. Each of these subunits is made of specific types of ribosomal RNAs (rRNA) and a number of different proteins.

For example, the 30S subunit of <em>E. coli</em> ribosome has 21 different proteins while its 50S subunit is made of 33 different types of proteins along with rRNA.

Likewise, the 40S subunit of a eukaryotic ribosome is made of 33 proteins while its 60S subunit has 47 proteins. The eukaryotic ribosome contains a total of 80 different proteins.

List three ways in which rods and cones differ in structure or function
qwelly [4]

<span>1.       </span>Cones perceive light in color while rods perceive light in black and white.

<span>2.       </span>Rods can perceive dim light, unlike cones. The rods are located at the edges of the eyes. This is why it easier to perceive an image in the dark through the corner of the eyes.
