Centrosome Cycle and Function Quiz

The inner membrane of mitochondria forms folds known as cristae.

Cristae are involved in ATP production within mitochondria.

The mitochondrial matrix is a fluid containing enzymes, proteins, ribosomes, ions, and DNA.

Enzymes in the mitochondrial matrix are not essential for ATP synthesis.

The primary role of mitochondria is to regulate cell metabolism.

Mitochondria are not involved in apoptosis (programmed cell death).

During the G1 phase of the centrosome cycle, the duplication of centrosome occurs.

In the mitotic phase of the centrosome cycle, chromosome disorientation takes place.

Centrosomes help in maintaining the chromosome number during cell division.

Centrosomes stimulate changes in the shape of the cell membrane by osmosis.

The cytoskeleton is responsible for facilitating the intracellular transport of molecules within the cell.

The eukaryotic cell cytoskeleton is composed of a network of fibrous structures and motor proteins.

The centrosome contains two perpendicular centrioles: a father centriole and a son centriole.

Centrosomes play a role in cell division initiation before the S-phase.

During interphase, centrosomes organize mitotic spindles.

Centrosomes are not critical for the structural organization of the cell.

Proteins synthesized in the cytoplasm are used within the endoplasmic reticulum.

Centrosomes are involved in nucleation and anchoring of cytoplasmic microfilaments.
