Cells as the basic units of living organisms — practice question

Which row correctly pairs each organelle with its function?

  • Amicrotubules: make cilia and spindle; rough endoplasmic reticulum: separates some processes from cytoplasm; Golgi body: makes lysosomes; centrioles: assemble the spindle during nuclear division
  • Bmicrotubules: move vesicles within the cell; rough endoplasmic reticulum: assembles amino acids to make proteins; Golgi body: contains enzymes for destroying worn out parts of the cell; centrioles: move chromosomes apart during anaphase
  • Cmicrotubules: move chromatids apart during anaphase; rough endoplasmic reticulum: modifies proteins which may be released from cell; Golgi body: makes glycoproteins; centrioles: move cilia
  • Dmicrotubules: form part of the cytoskeleton; rough endoplasmic reticulum: makes triglycerides and phospholipids; Golgi body: modifies proteins by adding carbohydrates; centrioles: move individual cells
