Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Unique to eukaryotic cells; anchors the organelles in place in the cell - includes three types of fibers Microfilaments - microtubules and intermediate filaments.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Cytoskeleton
Chloroplast
Lysosomes
2. Organelle that sorts and modifies proteins from ER and prepares them for transport to specific parts of the cell.
Prokaryotic
Vacuole
Golgi Apparatus
Schwann
3. Scientist who successfully disproved spontaneous generation.
Golgi Apparatus
Cytoskeleton
Pasteur
Vacuole
4. This type of cell is made up of dendrites and axons.
Schleiden
Nerve Cell
Cell Wall
Endoplasmic Reticulum
5. Organelle responsible for the synthesis of RNA into Proteins.
