Before beginning the process of cell fractionation the tissue is placed in an ice cold solution. Explain why.
Before beginning the process of cell fractionation the tissue is placed in an isotonic solution. Explain why.
Name the first stage of cell fractionation, in which organelles are released from cells (by breaking them open using a blender)

During cell fractionation, after homogenation the resulting fluid (homogenate) must be filtered. Why?
Identify which organelles are found in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th pellets
