1Which statement about the cytoskeleton is INCORRECT?
- AThe cytoskeleton is a static structure.
- BThe cytoskeleton helps maintain cell shape.
- CThe cytoskeleton maintains organelles position.
- DThe cytoskeleton is important for the movement of vesicles.
2The cytoskeleton is highly [blank_start]dynamic[blank_end], but still provides [blank_start]stability[blank_end].
- Adynamic
- Breactive
- Cstability
- Dsome structure
3There are four components of the cytoskeleton: microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and terminal ends.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
4Choose the INCORRECT statement about the cytoskeleton's components.
- AMicrotubules are the smallest filaments in the cytoskeleton.
- BMicrofilaments are made up of a double chain of actin.
- CMicrofilaments resist tension and are distributed in the outer cytoplasm (cortex).
- DIntermediate filaments are usually made of keratin, which is supercoiled into cables.
- EIntermediate filaments build the nuclear lamina, and anchor organelles.
5Microtubules resist [blank_start]compression[blank_end], while microfilaments resist [blank_start]tension[blank_end].
- Acompression
- Btension
6Choose the CORRECT statements about microtubules.
- AMicrotubules can make up flagella and cilia, allowing whole cell movements or movement of external fluid.
- BMicrotubules often originate from the peroxisome.
- CMotor proteins travel along microtubules.
- DMicrotubules are composed of α-tubulin and β-tubulin.
- EMicrotubules are the most stable of the filaments.
7Microfilaments are the only filaments in the cytoskeleton that form 3D networks with proteins.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
8Choose the statement about cell junctions which is CORRECT.
- ATight junctions form a continuous seal which prevents fluid loss.
- BDesmosomes provide pores between cells to transport ions and communicate via (a cytoplasmic connection.)
- CGap junctions anchor adjacent cells, acting like a rivet.
- DMuscle cells have few desmosomes.
9Which statement about collagen in the ECM is NOT correct?
- ACollagen makes up about 50% of total body protein.
- BCollagen resists compression.
- CCollagen is 'turned over', or, recycled.
- DCollagen is a glycoprotein secreted by fibroblasts.
10The base of the ECM is proteoglycan—an extensively sugared protein.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
11Proteoglycan in the ECM resists tension and traps water.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
