Cells - Components of the Cytoplasm

The video explains the structure and components of eukaryotic cells, focusing on the cytosol, cytoskeleton, and organelles. It highlights the differences between animal and plant cells, noting that plant cells have chloroplasts and a large central vacuole, while animal cells have lysosomes and centrosomes.

What is the primary component of the cytosol in eukaryotic cells?

• Proteins

• Lipids

• Water and dissolved chemicals

• Carbohydrates

Which of the following is NOT a part of the cytoskeleton?

• Chloroplasts

• Microtubules

• Intermediate filaments

• Microfilaments

Which organelle is responsible for energy production in animal cells?

• Golgi apparatus

• Peroxisome

• Mitochondria

• Lysosome

Which organelle is found in plant cells but not in animal cells?

• Centrosome

• Lysosome

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplast

What is the function of the large central vacuole in plant cells?

• Cell division

• Storage and maintaining cell rigidity

• Photosynthesis

• Protein synthesis
