In eukaryotic cells (cells with a nucleus), ribosomes have two major subunits, a 60s and a 40s. if we assume both are spheres and have the same average density, what are their relative sizes?

Molecular weight of 60s sub unit = 2.7 x 10^6 units

Molecular weight of 40s sub unit = 1.3 x 10^6 units

Densities are same and both are spherical

Relative size = Molecular weight of 60s / molecular weight of 40s = 2.7 x 10^6 / 1.3 x 10^6 = 27/13 = 2.0769

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
