Question

Which of the following is true of Svedbergs?

a. They are not exact but are useful for comparisons.

b. They are abbreviated “sv.”

c. They are prokaryotic in nature but exhibit some eukaryotic characteristics.

d. They are an expression of sedimentation rate during high-speed centrifugation.

Accepted Answer

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together which of the following statements about Svedberg is incorrect? Is it answer choice A? They are a unit of measure for sedimentation rate. Answer choice B, they are abbreviated as the letter S answer choice C. They relate to the speed at which particles settle under centrifugation or answer choice D. They are a type of protein found in cells. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices contains a statement about fed begs that is incorrect. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about Svedberg to determine which of the following answer choices is a statement about Svedberg that is incorrect. Starting off with answer choice A which says that they are a unit of measure for sedimentation rate, which we can recall that we know that Svedberg are a unit of measure for sedimentation rate which tells us that answer choice A is a correct statement. Therefore, it cannot be the correct answer. Next. We have answer choice B which says that Svedberg are abbreviated as the letter S which we do know that the letter S is the abbreviation used to identify the Svedberg. So they are abbreviated as letter S which makes answer choice B a correct statement as well. Therefore, answer choice B cannot be the correct answer. Either next we have answer choice C which says that Svedberg relate to the speed at which particles settle under centrifugation, which we also know that Svedberg relate to the speed at which those particles settle under centrifugation, which tells us that answer choice C is also a correct statement. Therefore, answer choice C can not be the correct answer, which leaves us with only one remaining answer choice, which is answer choice D, the correct answer as it says that fed burgs are a type of protein found in cells which we know from the rest of our answer choices that they are a unit of measure for sedimentation rate abbreviated as the letter S and relate to the speed at which particles settle under centrifugation. Therefore, they would not be a type of protein found in cells which makes answer choice. D an incorrect statement about Svedberg as it is instead a unit used in biochemistry. So answer choice D is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
