Correct answer: D. Both a and b

  • A. Their physical properties like size & weight.
  • B. Physical properties of the medium like its density.
  • C. Their electrical properties like their charges
  • D. Both a and b

Explanation

Cell fractionation separates organelles according to physical properties such as size and mass, while the density of the surrounding medium also affects how quickly they sediment. Thus both a and b are involved. Students may choose a alone by overlooking the role of the medium's density.
