6. Key terms check
Which key term matches this definition?
the cytoskeleton system's narrowest element; it provides rigidity and shape to the cell and enables cellular movements
7. Key terms check
Which key term matches this definition?
an instrument that magnifies an object
8. Key terms check
Which key term matches this definition?
the cytoskeleton system's widest element; it helps the cell resist compression, provides a track along which vesicles move through the cell, pulls replicated chromosomes to opposite ends of a dividing cell, and is the structural element of centrioles, flagella, and cilia
9. Key terms check
Which key term matches this definition?
(singular = mitochondrion) cellular organelles responsible for carrying out cellular respiration, resulting in producing ATP, the cell’s main energy-carrying molecule
