When subcellular components from disrupted cells are separated using centrifugation, the primary factor that determines whether a specific cellular component remains in the liquid solution or ends up in the pellet is?
The answer is the relative size and weight of the component.
The resolution of the centrifuge is dependent
on the speed in revolutions per minute. The heavier elements will accumulate at the
bottom of the tube as a pellet while lighter
molecule will be left in the supernatant
