Cell Biology MCQs

Microtubules: Essential component of the cytoskeleton, responsible for cell motility and forming fibers during cell division.
Centrosome: In animal cells, its primary function is organizing microtubules.
Flagellated Human Cells: Sperm cells are an example.
Hydrogen Peroxide Neutralization: Peroxisomes contain enzymes to neutralize hydrogen peroxide.
Chromosome Separation: The spindle apparatus separates chromosomes during cell division.
Actin Filaments: Part of the cytoskeleton, composed of actin protein, involved in maintaining cell shape and facilitating cell movement. They bear mechanical tension within cells.
Intermediate Filaments: Cytoskeleton component providing mechanical strength and maintaining cell shape.
Centrioles: Centrioles are part of the centrosome complex, and have a structure of nine triplets of microtubules.
Cilia: Move substances across the outer surface of cells, particularly in respiratory tracts.
Transport Vesicles: Primarily synthesized by the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER).
