Question

do eukaryotes have ribosomes?

Answer 1

Yes, eukaryotes have ribosomes. Ribosomes are essential cellular structures that are involved in protein synthesis. In eukaryotic cells, ribosomes can be found in two main locations: free in the cytoplasm and attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (forming what is known as the rough endoplasmic reticulum). Eukaryotic ribosomes are larger than those found in prokaryotes, with a sedimentation coefficient of 80S (composed of a 60S large subunit and a 40S small subunit), compared to the 70S ribosomes found in prokaryotic cells.
