18 Questions
Glyoxysomes are a type of peroxisomes found in animals and fungi.
False
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) include exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies only.
False
Mitochondria are responsible for transferring energy from food to ATP in the cell.
True
Chloroplasts are involved in the process of photosynthesis in plant cells.
True
Autophagic extracellular vesicles belong to the classical EVs like exosomes and microvesicles.
False
Mitochondria contain ribosomes for protein synthesis and a small circular piece of RNA.
False
Centrioles are barrel-shaped organelles found in each centrosome.
True
The function of centrioles in animal cells is to aid in mitochondria formation.
False
Centrioles in the centrosome consist of nine sets of long microtubule triplets arranged in a cylinder with central microtubules.
False
Nucleotides are needed to cross into the cytoplasm for the cell to make new DNA and RNA molecules.
False
The nucleus is also referred to as the 'home office' of the cell.
True
The traffic in and out of the nuclear pores includes proteins made in the nucleus that must exit to the cytoplasm.
False
Peroxisomes are depicted as stiff, elongated cylinders with a diameter of 0.5–1 μm, resembling bacteria.
False
Extracellular vesicles contain their ribosomes for protein synthesis.
False
In the absence of oxygen, cells produce lactic acid along with a large amount of ATP.
False
Glyoxisomes undergo binary division accompanied by the division of the mt-nucleus.
False
The diameter of chloroplasts is usually around 0.5–1 μm, resembling bacteria.
False
Mitochondria can multiply the mt-chromosome by endoduplication until 50-100 copies are present.
True
Test your knowledge about mitochondria, cell energy production, and the role of mitochondria in ATP synthesis and lactic acid production. Learn about the importance of mitochondria in providing energy to muscle cells and how cells adapt in low oxygen conditions.
