Students have asked these similar questions
Which characteristics correctly describe the cytoskeleton?
provides structure for the cell
structure cannot be changed
composed of only one type of filament
assists in the movement of organelles
made of nucleic acid filaments
Certain cells in your pancreas make digestive enzymes that are secreted into ducts and
carried to your small intestine. If you looked at these pancreatic cells with electron
microscopy, you would expect to see
numerous cilia on the cell surfaces.
multiple nuclei per cell.
large amounts of rough ER.
few ribosomes but numerous vacuoles.
large numbers of primary lysosomes.
Match the organelles on the figure with their functions.
site of cellular respiration
makes ribosomes
modifies, sorts and packages products
synthesizes lipids, stores calcium
found only in animal cells, anchors the spindle fibers during cell division
site of protein synthesis
membrane that encloses the genetic material

One risk from working in a building that contains asbestos is the development of asbestosis caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibers.

Location TISSUES Epithelial Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium Fun Fact: In the lungs, the cilia on this tissue sweep a layer of mucus that traps dirt particles and moves it toward the throat to be coughed out or swallowed. 3-D Look at the pattern- Nucleus the nuclei are staggered because of the different heights of the cells. 2-D All cells contact the basement membrane, but not all extend to the surface.
