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.
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].
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.
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.
Frage 11
Frage
Proteoglycan in the ECM resists tension and traps water.
