| Sporcle really needed a good, verified cell structure quiz, I hope this makes it to the front page soon. A couple of suggestions to make this more complete: also clearly visible on the diagram are microtubules, centrioles and another 2 membrane bound structures that could well be peroxisomes or vacuoles (yes, in animal cells). These are all structures that someone knowing the rest should also know. Slightly more in depth knowledge might be needed for the basal body. As for the long projection from the cell, I know you accept flagellum but this should be the displayed answer given that there is only one and its comparative length this is much more typical of flagella than cilia that are shorter and many in number (actually the microvilli on the diagram could also be cilia). The term undulipodium would work for both cilia and flagella. Phew. Finally, can you please add a biology tag (my browser isn't letting me). Thanks! |
