Ultracentrifuges allow cell biologists to isolate mitochondria from lysosomes based on organelle differences in:
A)isoelectric point.
B)ionic composition.
C)equilibrium density.
D)size.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ultracentrifuges separate organelles based on their differences in density. Equilibrium density gradient centrifugation is commonly used to isolate organelles based on this factor. This technique can be used to separate mitochondria from lysosomes, which have different densities. Therefore, the correct answer is option C (equilibrium density).
