Summary Introduction
Introduction:
An organism that is known to cause disease is called as a pathogen, and its tendency to cause disease is known as pathogenicity. A pathogen that invades and survives inside a host has some characteristics that are distinguishable from the non-pathogenic organisms. The pathogenicity can be enhanced due to the presence of locomotory organs.

Asbestos is a material that was once used extensively in construction. One risk from working in a building that contains asbestos is the development of asbestosis caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibers. Cells will take up asbestos by phagoctytosis, but are not able to break it down. As a result, asbestos fibers accumulate in which organelle?
Golgi apparatus
nucleus
peroxisomes
lysosomes
Which of the following is not a cellular activity associated with microtubules?
maintenance of axons
mititotic spindle
cilial structure
cell shape
orientation of cellulose microfibrils
All of the following are roles of microfilaments except
cell migration.
muscle cell contraction.
mitotic spindle formation.
cytoplasmic streaming.
amoeboid movement.
Which statement about the cytoskeleton is incorrect?
Microtubules are hollow tubes of protein that provide structural support.
Plant cells lack a cytoskeleton because they have a rigid cell wall.
Intermediate filaments are more permanent structures in cells compared to microfilaments and microtubules.
Microfilaments are chains of proteins that resist stretching.
Components of the cytoskeleton are often involved with movement of organelles within the cytoplasm.
