Dr. Smith, a molecular biologist, is investigating the structural differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes. Understanding these differences is essental for elucldating the molecular mechanisms underlying cellular processes. Based on Dr. Smith's research, which of the following accurately describes the structural differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes? Select one: a. Prokaryotic ribosomes are associated with organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, while eukaryotic ribosomes are free-floating in the cytoplasm. b. Prokaryotic ribosomes are larger and consist of a 405 small subunit and a 605 large subunit, while eukaryotic ribosomes are smaller and consist of a 305 small subunit and a 505 large subunit. c. Prokaryotic ribosomes are smaller and consist of a 305 small subunit and a 505 large subunit, while eukaryotic ribosomes are larger and consist of a 405 small subunit and a 605 large subunit. d. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes are st/ucturally identical, both consisting of a 405 small subunit and a 605 large subunit, differing only in their cellular locallzation.
