Cell Organelles and Inclusions Quiz

Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. They interact with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to regulate calcium homeostasis and lipid metabolism, and with the Golgi apparatus for protein modification and distribution.

Non-membranous organelles include ribosomes and polysomes for protein synthesis, microtubules for cell structure and transport, filaments for cell shape and movement, and centrioles for cell division and organization of microtubules.

Cell inclusions consist of stored food such as glycogen and lipids for energy reserves, pigments for coloration, including endogenous and exogenous sources, and various structures like glycogen granules, lipid droplets, and crystals.

<p>The text mentions simple squamous epithelium, simple cuboidal epithelium (e.g., in the thyroid), simple columnar epithelium, stratified squamous non-keratinized epithelium, and stratified squamous keratinized epithelium (e.g., in the skin). Each type has specific characteristics related to cell shape, layering, and location, influencing their functions in the body.</p> Signup and view all the answers
