Q19 - Cellular structures

Which intracellular structure is composed of microtubules? A) The Golgi apparatus B) The centriole C) The nucleolus D) The endoplasmic reticulum E) The nucleus
Pinned

The correct answer is B) The centriole.

Centrioles are made of microtubules: nine triplets arranged in a cylinder. A pair of them forms the centrosome, which organises the spindle when the cell divides.

The Golgi and ER are membranes, the nucleolus is RNA and protein, and the nucleus is wrapped in a double membrane.
