The technique of cell fractionation is 1st, cells are broken to pieces (in a special blender); the broken cell bits are added to a liquid and placed in a tube, which is inserted into a centrifuge, which then spins the tube, sea pertains most cell parts; most dense parts will settle at the bottom, and a biologist can then remove the specific part of the cell, needed to be studied
And the purpose is to obtain a pure sample of part of the original whole, such as mitochondria, plasma membranes, DNA or RNA, soluble proteins or even specific macromolecules (:

Cell culture involves growing cells in a controlled environment outside of an organism, allowing for study and manipulation. Cell fractionation, on the other hand, is a technique used to separate cellular components based on their physical and chemical properties, such as size, density, or solubility. Cell fractionation is typically used to isolate organelles or specific cellular components for further analysis.
Ribosomes are the smallest organelles isolated during cell fractionation. They are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.
