Question

Which biomolecule is found in acid soluble fraction or filtrate?
RNA
RuBisCO
Adenosine
Glycogen

Answer 1

It contains proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. Thus, it contain mainly organic compounds and inorganic elements and compounds are found in acid soluble pool.

Answer 2

Biomolecule that is found in acid soluble fraction or filtrate is Adenosine.

• When chemical analysis is performed, two fractions of biomolecules are obtained- one is the filtrate or the acid soluble pool and the other is the retentate or the acid insoluble pool.
• Acid soluble fraction contains biomicromolecules - amino acids, simple sugars and nucleotides. While the acid insoluble pool consists of biomacromolecules- polysaccharides, proteins and nucleic acids.
• Among the given molecules, RNA is a nucleic acid, glycogen is a polysaccharide, while RUBISCO is an enzyme of high molecular weight.
• Hence, Adenosine which is a simple sugar will be found in the filtrate.
