HISTOLOGY QUIZ 1- THE CELL
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
Golgi apparatus - Correct Answers -1. series of several elongated flattened saclike
membrane structures.
modifies, packages, sorts materials that arrive from the ER in 2. transport vesicles and
form secretory vesicles and lysosomes
Vesicles - Correct Answers -1. spherical shaped membrane bound sacs; contain
various types of materials to be transported through the cell
2. transport cellular material
Lysosomes - Correct Answers -1. spherical-shaped membrane bound organelles
formed from the golgi apparus; contain digestive enzymes
2. Digest microbes or materials
Peroxisomes - Correct Answers -1. Smaller, spherical shaped membrane bound
organelles formed from the ER or through fission; contain oxidative enzymes
2. Detoxify fpecific harmful substances either produced by the cell or taken into the cell;
engage in beta oxidation of fatty acids to acetyl CoA
Mitochondria - Correct Answers -1. Double membrane bound organelles containing a
circular strand of DNA
2. Synthesize most ATP during aerobic cellular respiration by digestion of fuel
molecules (glucose) in the presence of oxygen.
Ribosomes - Correct Answers -1. Organelles composed of both protein and ribosomal
RNA that are organized into both a large and small subunit; may be bound to a
membrane or free in cytosol
2. Engage in protein synthesis: Bound ribosomes produce proteins that are secreted,
incorporated into plasma membrane, and within lysosomes; free ribosomes produce
proteins used within the cell
Cytoskeleton - Correct Answers -1. Organized network of protein filaments and hollow
tubules, including microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules
2. Maintains intracellular structural support and organization of cells; participates in cell
division; facilitates movement
