Q

What does each cilium contain?

A

two central microtubules (black circles)

17
Q

What are the two central microtubules surrounded by?

A

nine pairs of microtubules arranged like a “wheel”

18
Q

What is the nine pairs of microtubules arrangement also known as?

A

the 9+2 arrangement

19
Q

Pairs of parallel microtubules slide over each other causing…

A

the cilia to move in a beating motion

20
Q

What is the key function of a cell?

A

to synthesize proteins for internal use and for secretion (transport out of the cell)

21
Q

To synthesis proteins, what is required?

A

a significant proportion of the internal structure of a cell

22
Q

The ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum, and the Golgi apparatus are all closely linked and coordinate the…

A

production of proteins and their preparation for different roles within the cell

23
Q

What does the cytoskeleton play a key role in?

A

coordinating protein synthesis

24
Q

What is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?

A

a network of membranes enclosing flattened sacs called cisternae

25
Q

Where is the endoplasmic reticulum connected to?

A

the outer membrane of the nucleus

26
Q

What are the two types of endoplasmic reticulum?

A

smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum

27
Q

What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum responsible for?

A

lipid and carbohydrate synthesis, and storage

28
Q

What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum responsible for?

A

it has ribosomes bound to the surface and is responsible for the synthesis and transport of proteins

29
Q

Secretory cells, which release hormones or enzymes, have more rough…

A

endoplasmic reticulum than cells that do not release proteins
