✓ rER, sER, and lysosomes
what is caused by a decrease in myelenation of axons
✓ Multiple sclerosis
why does the cell membrane need to be thin
✓ to let necessary chemicals in/out of the cell
what is the purpose of cell wall thickening
✓ protection
Compare and contrast: Mitochondrion vs. nucleus
✓ 1. both have double unit membrane
✓ 2.Mitochondria makes ATP, Nucleus is the control center of the cell
compare and contrast: centrioles vs. microtubules

✓ 1.centrioles are organelles and microtubules are modification of the
membrane
✓ 2. both are involved in forming mitotic spindles
✓ 3.both are non-membrane bound
✓ 4. centrioles -> basal bodies to anchor microtubules
compare and contrast : microvilli vs cilia
✓ 1. both are extensions of the membrane
✓ 2.cilia are long and microvilli are short
✓ 3.cilia are movement, microvilli are absorption
✓ 4. cilia have 9 doublets and 2 singlets
compare and contrast: microtubules vs microfilaments
✓ 1.both are non-membrane bound
✓ 2.microtubules are hollow, microfilaments are solid
✓ 3.microtubules are the core of cilia, microfilaments are core of microvilli
✓ 4.microtubules are bigger than microfilaments
compare and contrast: ribosomes vs. nucleolus
