Which of the following statements about a ribosome is false? It consists of a small subunit and a large subunit. It reads the mRNA in the 5' to 3' direction. Each subunit consists of ribosomal proteins and at least one rRNA molecule. The small subunit has peptidyl transferase activity.

Step 1
A ribosome is made up of two subunits: a small subunit and a large subunit. Each of these subunits consists of ribosomal proteins and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules. Show more…

Which statement best describes the relationship of the small ribosomal subunit to the mRNA strand? They are both composed of RNA and protein. The small subunit has an mRNA binding site. They both read the RNA codon sequence to assemble the polypeptide chain. The small subunit assembles in the nucleus where RNA is transcribed.

Which of the following statements about ribosomes is false? Uncharged tRNAs leave the ribosome at the E site. Ribosomes are large structures composed of both proteins and RNAs. The large subunit binds first to the 5' end of a transcript followed by the small subunit. The large subunit of the ribosome has peptidyl transferase activity. The small subunit of the ribosome matches the tRNA to the codon in the mRNA.
