Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason ribosome consists of two subunits instead of one supramolecular complex.
Introduction:
Ribosomes are the small molecular machines, which help the cell in making proteins by using amino acids in the process known as translation. The ribosome is composed of two subunits 40S(where S is Svedberg unit) and 60S (in eukaryotes), while 30S and 50S (in prokaryotes). The Svedberg unit describes the sedimentation coefficient of a particle.

- Why can aldoses and ketoses both behave as reducing sugars?arrow_forwardQUESTION NO. 1L-Carnitine is synthesized primarily in the liver but also in the kidneys and then transported to other tissues. It is most concentrated in tissues that use fatty acids as their primary fuel, such as skeletal and cardiac muscle. In this regard, L-carnitine plays an important role in energy production by conjugating to fatty acids for transport from the cytosol into the mitochondria.
