B) Mitochondria are the only organelles that survive tissue homogenization,thus both tissues could be homogenized to study the mitochondria.
C) Mitochondria from both tissues could be isolated from other cellular components by using proteolytic enzymes to break down other cellular structures.
D) Mitochondria from both tissues could be isolated from other cellular components by fractionating tissue homogenate using differential centrifugation followed by density gradient centrifugation.
E) Mitochondria can not be separated from whole cells without damaging them.
