Ribosomes Are Found in Bacterial Cells, in the Cytosol of Eukaryotic

Multiple Choice

Ribosomes are found in bacterial cells, in the cytosol of eukaryotic cells, and in the mitochondria and plastids of eukaryotic cells.It has therefore been of interest to researchers to do comparative studies of ribosomes isolated from these locations as a way to test endosymbiotic theory.Which type of comparative information would be most likely to provide evidence that could either refute or support endosymbiotic theory?

A) Function of the ribosomes in their source locations
B) Structure of the ribosomes
C) Number of ribosomes per unit area
D) Ability of the ribosomes to translate a given messenger RNA molecule
E) Ability of the ribosomes to form peptide bonds
