They are whiplike, motile cellular extensions that occur in large numbers on the
exposed surfaces of certain cells. Ans- Which of the following is characteristic of cilia?
a) They move substances in any direction across cell surfaces.
b) They are used for cellular adhesion.
c) They are whiplike, motile cellular extensions that occur in large numbers on the
exposed surfaces of certain cells.
d) They are substantially longer than flagella, and are most easily seen in human sperm
cells.
True. Lysosomes are large and abundant within phagocytes, the cells that dispose of
invading bacteria and cell debris. Lysosomal enzymes can digest almost all kinds of
biological molecules. They work best in acidic conditions and so are called acid
hydrolases. Ans- Lysosomes perform digestive functions within a cell. T or F
the enzyme functions only in lysosomes and not in the blood Ans- Babies with Tay-
Sachs disease cannot be treated by injecting the missing enzyme into their blood
because_________.
a) the enzyme is a protein and, therefore, is not soluble in the blood
b) the enzyme is a protein that is digested by glycolipids in the blood
c) blood is not capable of delivering substances directly to nerve cells
d) the enzyme functions only in lysosomes and not in the blood
the smooth ER Ans- In certain kinds of muscle cells, calcium ions are stored in
________.
a) the rough ER
, b) the smooth ER
c) the cytoplasm
d) both smooth and rough ER
Motor proteins Ans- What moves cell organelles from one location to another inside a
cell?
a) Microfilaments
b) Intermediate filaments
c) Motor proteins
d) Microtubules
centriole Ans- The electron microscope has revealed that one of the components within
the cell consists of pinwheel array of 9 triplets of microtubules arranged to form a hollow
tube. This structure is a ________.
a) centriole
b) chromosome
c) centrosome
d) ribosome
melanin Ans- Which of these is an inclusion, not an organelle?
a) microtubule
b) cilia
c) lysosome
d) melanin
protein synthesis in conjunction with ribosomes Ans- Which of the following is NOT a
function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
a) lipid metabolism and cholesterol synthesis
b) protein synthesis in conjunction with ribosomes
c) steroid-based hormone synthesis
d) breakdown of stored glycogen to form free glucose
contain some of the DNA and RNA code necessary for their own function Ans-
Mitochondria ________.
a) synthesize proteins for use outside the cell
b) are single-membrane structures involved in the breakdown of ATP
c) are always the same shape
d) contain some of the DNA and RNA code necessary for their own function
false; integral cell membrane proteins are also synthesized this way Ans- Ribosomes,
endoplasmic reticulum, and the Golgi apparatus functionally act in sequence to
synthesize and modify proteins for secretory use (export) only, never for use by the cell.
This statement is ________.
a) false; lipids, not proteins, are synthesized this way
b) false; proteins thus manufactured are for use inside the cell only
c) false; integral cell membrane proteins are also synthesized this way
