2.1 Cell structure: Subcellular Components - Review

This review will guide you through an adaptive, research-backed study session. As you answer questions, we will actively assess your current understanding of the material. Questions will continue to be drawn until you have demonstrated mastery of each learning objective.

Reviews are graded based on completion. You will receive full credit for achieving 100% mastery or answering all questions.

Learning objectives for this review:

  • Describe the structure and function of the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes.
  • Discuss the functions of microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments in maintaining cell shape, enabling movement, and facilitating intracellular transport.
  • Compare and contrast the structure and function of subcellular components in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
