Q: The svedberg unit is a measure of the rate of what, which is tested in a centrifuge?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

The two ribosomal subunits are named base on their sedmentation rate in a centrifuge. The unit of measurement is the Svedberg unit , a measure of the rate of sedimentation, not the size. This accounts for why fragment names do not add up (70S is made of 50S and 30S).

 Choices:

- precipitation

- temperature

- secretion

- sedimentation


A:
sedimentation
