Centrifugation Quiz

What are the principles of centrifugation?

• Using magnetic force to separate particles

• Application of centrifugal force to separate particles based on their density and size

• Using gravitational force to separate particles

• Applying heat to separate particles

Name two types of centrifuges and explain their differences.

• Low-density centrifugation and high-density centrifugation

• Vertical centrifugation and horizontal centrifugation

• Speed centrifugation and temperature centrifugation

• Differential centrifugation and density gradient centrifugation

How is centrifugation used in biochemistry?

• To filter components of a mixture based on their size, shape, and density.

• To separate components of a mixture based on their size, shape, and density.

• To mix components of a mixture based on their size, shape, and density.

• To heat components of a mixture based on their size, shape, and density.

Discuss the role of centrifugation in pharmaceuticals.

• Centrifugation is used to separate particles and molecules based on their size, density, and viscosity.

• Centrifugation is used to mix different pharmaceutical ingredients together

• Centrifugation is used to analyze the color of pharmaceutical products

• Centrifugation is used to measure the temperature of pharmaceutical compounds

Explain the importance of centrifugation in environmental science.

• Centrifugation helps in mixing environmental samples thoroughly

• It is used to measure the temperature of environmental samples

• It is used to create artificial gravity in environmental samples

• It is used to separate particles and substances from environmental samples for analysis and identification of pollutants, microorganisms, and contaminants.
