Ribosomes consist of two subunits, each containing rRNA. An analysis of all the 70S ribosomes
from a single cell of the bacterium, Escherichia coli, showed that there were:
• 38 000 rRNA molecules
• 2 main types of rRNA molecule
• 19 000 copies of each type of rRNA molecule
How many 70S ribosomes were there in the E. coli cell?
A 9500 B 19 000 C 38 000 D 76 000
How do you do this calculation? btw, Answer is B
