Term
once the cells have been homogenized the various components must be separated by the use of
Definition
gravity sedimentation
Term
samples r allowed to sit and separation occurs due to the natural differences n size and shape (density) of the cells
Definition
gravity sedimentation
Term
technique for fractionating cellular components is the use of

Definition
preparative techniques
Term
particles n suspension can b separated by
Definition
sedimentation velocity/equilibrium
Term
sedimentation velocity (aka?) has the advantage of low speed centrifugation and short times, but yields incomplete separations
Definition
zone centrifugation
Term
sedimentation equilibrium (aka?) requires specimens to b subject to hi speeds 4 prolonged periods of time and seperates particles completely
Definition
isopycnic or density equilibration
Term
terminal velocity is dependent upon the relative centrifugal force (RCF) applied to the particle and is related to a math factor
Definition
sedimentation coeffiecient/constant
Term
sedimentation coefficient is determined by

dividing the termianl velocity by centrifugal force field strength
Term
diffusion coeffiecient (D)
Definition
spread of molecule divided by time
Term
