Question

Centrifugation of a cell results in the rupture of the cell membrane and the compacting of the contents into a pellet in the bottom of the centrifuge tube. Bathing this pellet with light yields metabolic activity, including the production of large amounts of NADPH and ATP. One of the contents of this pellet is most likely which of the following

A: Cytosol

B: Thylakoid/chloroplasts

C: Lysosomes

D: Golgi bodies

Answer 1

Answer:

B: Thylakoid/chloroplasts

Explanation:

Chloroplasts convert sunlight into food by photosynthesis, this process generates Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) and Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), thereby it is expected to find these compounds in the pellet
