GIVEN: Centrifuge A: rotor radius 5 cm; max. speed - 4,000 xg Centrifuge B: rotor radius - 7 cm; max. speed 50,000 xg Centrifuge C: rotor radius - 5 cm; max. speed - 15,000 rpm Particle X: requires 20,000 xg to pellet out Particle Y: Found in the supernate after subjected to centrifuge B using max speed Particle Z: requires 35000 rpm to pellet out Based from the given: I. Centrifuge B can be used to pellet out particle Z. II. Centrifuge A can be used to sediment particle X provided a longer centrifugation time. Evaluate whether the statements above are correct or incorrect, and type the letter of your answer on the space provided. Write the capital letter corresponding to your choice. A- Only the first statement is correct. B- Only the second statement is correct. C- Both the first and the second statements are correct. D- Both the first and second statements are incorrect.
