70S sized ribosomes are found in the cytoplasm of:
Correct answer: D. Bacteria
- A. Algae
- B. Fungi
- C. Protozoans
- D. Bacteria
Explanation
Eukaryotic cells have mitochondria and chloroplasts as organelles and those organelles additionally have ribosomes 70S. However, eukaryotic cells (algae, fungi, protozoans) have 80S ribosomes in their cytoplasm, while prokaryotic cells just have 70S ribosomes. Hence, Option D is correct.
