Correct Answer(s)
A. Acts as skeleton and muscle
B. Provides transport for organelles
D. Provides shape and structureExplanation
the three main functions of the cytoskeleton are to:
1. acts as skeleton and muscle
2. provides shape and structure
3. transports organelles around the cellRate this question:
-
- 5.
What other organelle do many of the Ribosomes attach themselves to?
- A.
Mitochondria
- B.
Nucleus
- C.
Endoplasmic reticulum
- D.
Vacuole
Correct Answer
C. Endoplasmic reticulumExplanation
ribosomes are located floating either within the cytoplasm itself or on the endoplasmic reticulumRate this question:
-
- 6.
Which Organelle is responsible for both ATP production and aerobic respiration?
- A.
Nucleus
- B.
Mitichondria
- C.
Vacuole
- D.
Ribosomes
Correct Answer
B. MitichondriaExplanation
Site of Aerobic respiration and responsible for production of ATP.
Occur in large numbers in most cells.
They have a double membrane: outer membrane is smooth whist the inner is folder. This provides a large surface area on which the complex reactions of aerobic respiration can occur.
Abundant in muscular cellsRate this question:
-
- 7.
How many sub-units does a ribosome have?
- A.
1
- B.
2
- C.
3
- D.
4
Correct Answer
B. 2 -
- 8.
The mitochondria has a single membrane!
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The mitochondria has both an inner and outer membrane and therefore is classed as a double membrane.Rate this question:
-
- 9.
Which cell organelle is the site of where many chemical reactions take place?
- A.
Ribosomes
- B.
Lyosomes
- C.
Cytosol
- D.
Nucleus
Correct Answer
C. CytosolExplanation
Site of chemical reactions and which are required for cells existence.Rate this question:
-
- 10.
The Endoplasmic Reticulum is responsible for producing Ribosomes
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The Nucleus produces RibosomesRate this question:
-
- 11.
Which organelle is responsible for breaking down old and wasted material into useable forms within the cell?
- A.
Lyosomes
- B.
Ribosomes
- C.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (smooth)
Correct Answer
A. LyosomesExplanation
Lysomes are like the garbage disposal of the cell. They remove what is of no use to the cell and keep what can be re-used to assist the functioning of the cell.Rate this question:
-
- 12.
Cells have the ability to arise spontaneously!
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Cells can only be formed through cell division!Rate this question:
-
- 13.

Nucleus
- B.
Mitochondria
- C.
Ribosomes
- D.
Cytoskeleton
Correct Answer
B. Mitochondria -
