Which technique separates cell organelles by density?

  • A PCR, used to amplify specific DNA sequences
  • B Gel electrophoresis, separating molecules by charge and size
  • C Centrifugation (ultracentrifuge)
  • D Chromatography, separating molecules by their chemical properties

Correct answer: C. Centrifugation (ultracentrifuge)

Explanation: Ultracentrifugation separates organelles by size and density. Different organelles pellet at different centrifuge speeds.

Concept context

Cell theory, prokaryotic vs eukaryotic cells, organelles and their functions. Foundation of all biology.
