Question

Cytoskeleton Classify each characteristic based on whether it describes actin filaments, intermediate filaments, and/or microtubules. Some characteristics may apply to more than one category Short, Act as tracks Protein varies from cell to cell composed of 13 Support the nuclear composition lindrical Involved in cell along which divisionorganelles can envelope move rows of tubulin Kinesin and The ns fTake part in Support the Readily assemble and disassemble to meet the needs of the cell dynein interact with these fibers to produce this fiber interact with formation of Support the myosin during cell-to-cell plasma membrane muscle contraction junctions Actin filaments Intermediate filaments Microtubules

Explanation / Answer

Actin filament:The protein of this fibre interact with mysoin during muscle contraction, involved in cell division, suppors plasma membrane, protein composition varies from cell to cell, green image.

Intermediate filament:take part in cell to cell junction, supports nuclear membrane, protein composition varies from cell to cell, blue image.

Microtubule: kinesin and dynein interact with these fibres, orange image, involved in cell division, short cylindrical , composed of 13 rows of tubulin, Act as a tract along which organelle can move, Assembly and disassembly to meet the need of cell, protein composition varies from cell to cell
