Microfilaments are solid rods about 7nm in diameter. They are also called actin filaments, because they are built from molecules called actin (a globular protein). A microfilament is a twisted double chain of actin subunits. Microfilaments are present in all eukaryotic cells. The structural role of microfilaments in the cytoskeleton is to bear tension (pulling forces). They help support/form the cells shape.

Definition structure function and biogenesis of microfilament?
The definition of a microfilament is a stringy protein found in most cells. The structure of a microfilament is a long, thing string-like protein and its function is to help the cell move. The biogenesis of a microfilament is a protein called actin.
What is the organelle that provides the internal structure for a cell?
These are - 1.microfilament 2.microtubules 3.intermidiate filaments 4.endoplasmic reticulum
Is microfilament in a plant or animal cell?
both
What group are plant animal and fungi cells in?
the microfilament group
Made of microfilament and microtubles in the cytoplasm for support of the nucleolus?
cytoskeleton

What cytoskeletal element has the thickest diameter?
microfilament
Which cytoskeletal element has the thickest diameter?
Microfilament
What is a molecule found inside the microfilament?
actin and myosin?
Who discovered Microfilament?
Chandra Bhushan and Mrinal Halder
What is myosin?
Myosins are a large family of motor proteins found in eukaryotic tissues. They are responsible for actin-based motility.
Are microfilament found in plant cell?
yes,thats what i think
