Frage 1

Frage
Which statement about the cytoskeleton is INCORRECT?
Antworten
  • The cytoskeleton is a static structure.
  • The cytoskeleton helps maintain cell shape.
  • The cytoskeleton maintains organelles position.
  • The cytoskeleton is important for the movement of vesicles.

Frage 2

Frage
The cytoskeleton is highly [blank_start]dynamic[blank_end], but still provides [blank_start]stability[blank_end].
Antworten
  • dynamic
  • reactive
  • stability
  • some structure

Frage 3

Frage
There are four components of the cytoskeleton: microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and terminal ends.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 4

Frage
Choose the INCORRECT statement about the cytoskeleton's components.
Antworten
  • Microtubules are the smallest filaments in the cytoskeleton.
  • Microfilaments are made up of a double chain of actin.
  • Microfilaments resist tension and are distributed in the outer cytoplasm (cortex).
  • Intermediate filaments are usually made of keratin, which is supercoiled into cables.
  • Intermediate filaments build the nuclear lamina, and anchor organelles.

Frage 5

Frage
Microtubules resist [blank_start]compression[blank_end], while microfilaments resist [blank_start]tension[blank_end].
Antworten
  • compression
  • tension

Frage 6

Frage
Choose the CORRECT statements about microtubules.
Antworten
  • Microtubules can make up flagella and cilia, allowing whole cell movements or movement of external fluid.
  • Microtubules often originate from the peroxisome.
  • Motor proteins travel along microtubules.
  • Microtubules are composed of α-tubulin and β-tubulin.
  • Microtubules are the most stable of the filaments.

Frage 7

Frage
Microfilaments are the only filaments in the cytoskeleton that form 3D networks with proteins.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 8

Frage
Choose the statement about cell junctions which is CORRECT.
Antworten
  • Tight junctions form a continuous seal which prevents fluid loss.
  • Desmosomes provide pores between cells to transport ions and communicate via (a cytoplasmic connection.)
  • Gap junctions anchor adjacent cells, acting like a rivet.
  • Muscle cells have few desmosomes.

Frage 9

Frage
Which statement about collagen in the ECM is NOT correct?
Antworten
  • Collagen makes up about 50% of total body protein.
  • Collagen resists compression.
  • Collagen is 'turned over', or, recycled.
  • Collagen is a glycoprotein secreted by fibroblasts.

Frage 10

Frage
The base of the ECM is proteoglycan—an extensively sugared protein.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 11

Frage
Proteoglycan in the ECM resists tension and traps water.
Antworten
  • True
  • False
