There's a direct contradiction between this article and another article on wikipedia where here it states that: "Eukaryotic ribosomes are also known as 80S ribosomes, referring to their sedimentation coefficients in Svedberg units, because they sediment more slowly than the prokaryotic (70S) ribosomes. " And under the value "Sedimentation coefficient" the opposite is explained: "Bigger particles sediment faster and have higher sedimentation coefficients (svedberg, or S values). " Actually, corroborating the second quote is a third value on Wikipedia, about the Svedberg unit itself. Thanks, Arnie Albright (talk) 14:44, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
