The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between Chloroplast Ribosomes and Cytosol Ribosomes.

Difference # Chloroplast Ribosome:

i. Sedimentation coefficient is 70S.

ii. Initiation of amino acid takes place by formyl methionine for protein synthesis like the bacteria.

iii. Sedimentation coefficient of large and small sub-units is 50S and 30S, respectively.

iv. Sedimentation coefficient of ribosomal RNAs of large sub-unit is 23S, 5S and 4.5S.

v. Sedimentation coefficient of ribosomal RNAs of small sub-unit is 16S.

Difference # Cytosol Ribosome:

i. Sedimentation coefficient is 80S.

ii. Here it starts from methionine.

iii. Sedimentation coefficient of large and small sub-units is 60S and 40S. respectively.

iv. Same for its large sub-unit is 25S. 5.8S and 5S.

v. Same for small sub-unit is 18S.
