Q

Before cell fractionisation begins the solution is

A

Cold- reduce enzyme activity that might break down the organelles
Same water potential as the tissue- prevent organelles bursting or shrinking as a result of osmostic gain or loss of water
Buffered- so PH doesn’t fluctuate as this would change the structure of the organelles or affect the functioning of enzymes
