Anatomy Week 3

QuestionAnswer
Which letter indicates the Golgi apparatus? D
Which letter indicates the mitochondrion? E
Which letter indicates the nucleolus? A
The plasma membrane is composed of all of the following except tubulin protein.
A major function of the cell membrane is to control what enters and leaves the cell.
The outer boundary of a human cell is called the plasma membrane.
This organelle is characterized by folded membranes called cristae. mitochondria
Ribosomes may be either free within the cytoplasm or bound to a membrane system known as the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
This membranous organelle contains oxidase and catalase enzymes. peroxisome
In the matrix of the plasma membrane, a variety of proteins are embedded. Some of these proteins serve as passageway for Na+ ions or glucose. These proteins are called transport proteins.
This organelle is numerous in liver and kidney cells. peroxisome
Which area of the cytoplasm near the nucleus coordinates the building and breaking of microtubules in the cell? centrosome
Which of the following statements about integral proteins in the plasma membrane is false? They are more abundant by volume than the membrane phospholipids.
Ribosomes are organelles that float in the cytoplasm and attach to the endoplasmic reticulum.
Which letter indicates the plasma membrane? B
This organelle primarily modifies products from the rough ER, and it resembles a stack of hollow saucers, one cupped inside the next. Golgi apparatus
Cisternae of this organelle are continuous with the nuclear envelope. rough endoplasmic reticulum
This organelle is primarily a sac of powerful digestive enzymes called acid hydrolases. lysosome
Of the following, the only organelle that has a double membrane structure is the mitochondrion.
A spherical membrane-bound structure that contains the genetic material of the cell and is often referred to as the “command center” of the cell is the nucleus.
This membranous organelle is the site of protein synthesis for proteins that are secreted by the cell. rough endoplasmic reticulum
The inside of the cell is composed largely of a gel-like substance called cytoplasm.
Which of the following cytoskeleton elements are the largest in diameter? microtubules
Which letter indicates the rough endoplasmic reticulum? C
Which of the following is a type of cell extension that lines the intestines and other areas of the body? microvilli
Which of the following is not a cytoskeleton element? centriole
Which type of junction is formed when membrane channels of adjacent plasma membranes adhere to each other? gap junction
Often referred to as the “power plant” of the cell, which organelle is the site of ATP production? mitochondrion
Phospholipids of the plasma membrane are arranged as a bilayer with their nonpolar tails sandwiched between the polar heads.
This organelle has both a cis and a trans face. Golgi apparatus
The fundamental organizational unit of life is the: cell.
The presence of which substance in the cell membrane keeps it from breaking too easily? Cholesterol
The structure that separates the contents of a cell from the surrounding tissue is known as: plasma membrane.
Projections from the cell that move materials and mucus are called: cilia.
The barrier function of the plasma membrane is accomplished by the: phospholipid bilayer.
Which of the following is not a function of the integral membrane proteins? Acting as receptors, Signal transduction, Identification of “self”, All of the above are functions of the integral membrane proteins.
Which cell fiber serves as part of our “cellular muscles?” Microfilament
Rafts are stiff groupings of membrane molecules. What is their function? All of these are functions of rafts
Which of the following is not true of the rough endoplasmic reticulum? It makes lipids and carbohydrates.
The enzyme catalase is an important chemical in the functioning of the: peroxisomes.
Which of the following is not a function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum? Provides a site for ribosome attachment
Which of the following organelles is considered a nonmembranous organelle? Ribosome
The inner membrane of what double-membrane structure is contorted into folds called cristae? Mitochondrion
The largest human cell, measuring about 150 μm, is a: female sex cell or ovum.
Which are the organelles that allow for the recycling of amino acids in the cell? Proteasomes
Which cell extension lacks a central pair of microtubules, is not found in blood cells, and functions in the kidney to monitor urine flow? Primary cilium
Tiny indentations of the plasma membrane that resemble caves are called: caveolae.
A specialized cell structure that propels the sperm is the: flagellum.
Skin cells (epithelial) are held tightly together by: desmosomes.
Which organelle processes and packages material to be secreted? Golgi apparatus
The cell extension that contains microfilaments is called: microvilli.
The membranous structure containing substances that protect the cell from harm are: Lysosomes, peroxisomes, both B and C.
The structure in cells that is associated with the enzymatic breakdown (digestion) of foreign material is the: lysosome.
In the cell membrane, the hydrophilic part of the phospholipid molecule: faces the exterior of the cell, faces the interior of the cell, both A and B.
Which of the following is not true about ribosomes? Surrounded by a membrane structure
Granules or threads within the nucleus are called: chromatin.
