Question
Indicate whether each statement is true or False.
1. The cytoplasm contains all of the material inside of the plasma membrane.
2. The cytosol is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm, which contains the cytoskeleton and cytoplasmic inclusions.
3. The cytoskeleton supports the cell and holds the nucleus and other organelles in place.
4. The cytoskeleton consists of 3 groups of Carbohydrates: microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments.
5. Cytoplasmic inclusions of the cytoplasm can be aggregates of chemicals either produced or taken in by the cell.
Explanation / Answer
1. True.
Cytoplasm contain all of the material inside of the plasma membrane. It comprises cytosol and all the organelles of the cell system.
2. True
The cytosol is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm which contains the cytoskeleton and cytoplasmic inclusions. It is also called intracellular fluid or cytoplasmic matrix.
3. True
Cytoskeleton supports the cell and hold the nucleus and other organelles in place. It is the network of filaments and tubules that is distributed throughout a cell through the cytoplasm. It ia found in all cells.
4. False.
The cytoskeleton consists of three types of protein structures which is microtubules, actin filaments and intermediate filaments. These structures are proteins not carbohydrates.
5. False.
Cytoplasmic inclusions of the cytoplasm can not be the aggregates of chemicals, instead they are aggregates of abnormally or misfolded proteins. Cytoplasmic inclusions stores nutrients, secretary products and pigment granules.
