The type of ribosomes are found in Nostoc cells is the 70S type.
Ribosomes are cell organelle present in all living cells that help in biological protein synthesis. Each ribosome consists of a smaller subunit and a large subunit. Each subunit consists of ribosomal proteins and ribosomal RNAs or rRNAs. Ribosomes link amino acids together by a peptide bond to form polypeptide chains. The sequence of amino acids is joined together in the order of the codons of messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules.
With respect to the composition of ribosomal subunits, the ribosome may be 70 S type or 80 S type. The 70 S type of ribosome consists of a smaller subunit (30 S) and a larger subunit (the 50S). The smaller subunit (30 S) consists of 16 S rRNA and 21 ribosomal proteins. The larger subunits (50 S) consist of 23 S and 5 S rRNA and 31 ribosomal proteins.
The 80 S type of ribosomes are found in eukaryotic cells. Whereas the 70 S type of ribosomes is found in prokaryotic cells. Nostoc is a genus of blue-green algae and a photosynthetic cyanobacterium. Thus, Nostoc is prokaryotic in nature. The ribosomes found in Nostoc are 70 S type.
