Sort the following cellular components to reflect the centrifugal force required to sediment them by preparative ultracentrifugation, from low to high force required. Your answer would be a four-letter string composed of letters R, M, L, and N, e.g. LRNM.
(L) Lysosomes
(M) Microsomes
(N) Nuclei
(R) Ribosomes (free cytosolic)

During cell fractionation by ultracentrifugation, progressively higher speeds are used to fractionate different components. Nuclei sediment in the early steps whereas macromolecular complexes such as ribosomes come out in later steps.
