In cell fractionation various components of cells including its organelles can be isolated in different layers depending upon?
Correct answer: D. Both a and b
- A. Their physical properties like size & weight
- B. Their physical properties like density
- C. Their electrical properties like their charges
- D. Both a and b
Explanation
Cell fractionation involves two steps: homogenisation (cells are broken apart in a blender) and centrifugation (cell components are spun in a centrifuge and separated on the basis of density - physical properties of the cell components.In density gradient centrifugation, the centrifuge tube is filled with a series of solutions of decreasing density - physical properties of the medium.
