What are analogies for microfiliments?
If the cytoskeleton is the framework of a building, microfiliments are the wood beams.
What are the functions of microfiliments?
to provide shape to the cell
What is the description that supports the cell moves organelles within the cell?
microfiliments
What are the fiber like protein units that make up the cell's cytoskeleton and the centrioles in animal cells?
microfiliments and microtubulars
Made of microtubes and microfiliments to gie support to cells?
Microtubles are one of the components of the cytoskeleton. And i don't know the answer to microfilaments. but that is all i know, so there you go.
What cell structure is located external body of the cell?
The phospholipid bilayer, as well as other microtubules, microfiliments and structural support units.
Name all the things that is in a cell?
Cell membrane, nucleus, vacuoles, mitochondria, cytoplasm, nucleolus, nuclear envelope, rough endoplasmic reticulum, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, vesicles, lysosomes, microtubles, microfiliments, centrosome.
What are the organelles supended in a cell?
The organelles, attached to various cell fibers, ( tubules and microfiliments ) are suspended in the somewhat jelly like substance called the cytosol. Between the nuclear envelope and the membrane all contents of the cell, organelles and the rest, is the cytoplasm.
What structures do amoebas use to move?
Amoeba's move by extending pseudopodia. They push microfiliments into their membranes and extend then out as far as they can is a " false foot " type extension. Ten they pull their cellular body up to the point of the pseudopodia extension.
What are intermediate fibers?
A framework, "net" or "basket-like" structure found in cells. AKA: intermediate filaments or microfiliments. They provide structure for the cell and are an important component of the cytoskeleton. During cell division the filiments enable the cell to pinch off into 2 cells and are involved in amoeboid movements of certain types of cells. They also anchor organelles to parts of the cell.
Contrast cytokinesis in plant and animal cells?
Animal cells have a ring of actin microfiliments called the "contractile ring" which constricts around the cell. This produces a groove in the cell surface where the cell will eventually be pinched into 2 daughter cells, each with a nucleus containing an identical set of chromosomes. Plant cells have a double membrane called the "cell plate" which forms at the same place as an old metaphase plate. A new cell wall is then made between the 2 membranes of the cell plate. Shortened: An animal cell pinches off to create 2 cells each with their own set of chromosomes, while a plant cell forms a cell plate that grows and splits into 2 cells each with a plasma membrane.
