∙ 14y agoA microfilament is commonly referred to as actin filaments. They are the thinnest filaments of the cytoskeleton found in the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells. An analogy could be something like a thin twisted stalk of hay; strong and resilient.

What protein fiber is used for cellular movement and are extremely thin in size?
Microfilaments and Microtubules are involved.
Microtubles and microfilaments are made from proteins that are shaped like?
Microtubules 50nm, make up the larger part of the cytoskeleton, and they are hollow, and larger. Microfilaments 8-10 nm are smaller, they are in a double helix shape, different from microtubules.
What are the tiny strands called that are in a cell?
Microfilaments
Long threads made of actin?
Microfilaments.
How can you describe a school using cell analogy including nuclear envelope nuclear pore vessicles cytoskeleton microfilaments microtubles centrioles rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
There is no analogies for those subjects.
What Microfilaments are made from ball shaped proteins called?
Microfilaments are made from a ball-shaped protein called?. Microfilaments are made from a ball shaped. Microfilaments are made of protein strands called
Which mechanism involves the drawing of actin microfilaments between myosin microfilaments?
The ratchet mechanism
Where are the microfilaments found?
In the cytoskeleton.
What is the function of a Microfilaments in a plant cell?
in cells, microfilaments support cytoplasm and microtubules transport materials within cytoplasm
Do plant and animal cells have microfilaments?
Yes, plants have microtubules. Microtubules are hollow tubes composed of a protein called tubulin. They are the thickest and most rigid of the filaments.
What structures carry out cell movement?
a. cytoplasm and ribosomes b. nucleolus and nucleus c. microtubules and microfilaments d. chromosomes answer is c. microtubules and microfilaments
Contractile elements of the cytoskelton?
Microfilaments
