When ground slurry of living tissue is strained through a cheesecloth, the filtrate is obtained. Select the correct statement regarding the filtrate.
Options
- AIt is acid soluble fraction.
- BIt possess inorganic compounds only.
- CIt is a mixture of macromolecules and micromolecules.
- DOnly 4 compounds are obtained.
Correct answer
A. It is acid soluble fraction.
Step-by-step solution
Filtrate (acid soluble fraction): It consists of thousands of compounds (organic and inorganic). The molecular weight ranges from 18 to 800 Daltons (Da). Thus, these compounds are known as micromolecules or simply biomolecules.
