Question

Describe the method of centrifugation using an apporite example.

Answer 1

Answer:

centrifugation is a process of using centrifugal force on a solution to seperate the particles according to its size,shape,viscosity,density etc.

method or process: (in blood)

• the blood is placed in a centrifuge machine which consists of a tube which angles out from the bottom
• the machine starts spinning the tube which exerts centrifugal force on it
• the RBC is denser so they move to the bottom of tube while the plasma is less dense thus it will float up
