Microtubules are very important to Mitosis. They help to pull the chromosomes to the opposite ends of the cell during anaphase.

Which cytoskeleton fibers are found in cilia and flagella?

Cilia and flagella contain microtubules, which are a type of cytoskeleton fiber made up of tubulin protein subunits. Microtubules provide structural support and are involved in the movement of cilia and flagella.


What are long hallow protein structures that give support to a cell?

Microtubules are long, hollow protein structures that give support to a cell. They are also involved in various cellular processes such as cell division, intracellular transport, and maintaining cell shape.


What is the cytoskeletal element assembled at the centrosome?

The cytoskeletal element assembled at the centrosome is the microtubule. The centrosome serves as the main microtubule-organizing center in animal cells, where it nucleates and organizes the microtubules that form the cell's cytoskeleton.


Describe cellular activities that use the energy released by ATP?

Cells use the energy provided by ATP in a number of ways. One was is active transport. many cell membranes contain a sodium-potassium pump that moves sodium ions (Na) out of the cell and potassium ions (K) into it. ATP also powers movement within the cell. Cell organelles are moved along microtuble by motor proteins that use the energy of ATP to generate force. When enough ATP is available, the organelles moves quickly along the microtuble.


Eukaryotic flagella differ from prokaryotic flagella because only eukaryotic flagella?

contain a 9+2 arrangement of microtubules with dynein motor proteins for movement, while prokaryotic flagella have a simpler structure and are powered by a different mechanism. Eukaryotic flagella are also typically longer and are used for cell motility or moving fluids, whereas prokaryotic flagella are used for propulsion of the entire cell.
