Being part of the cytoskeleton, microfilaments allow cells to move.
Myosin is a protein that plays a key role in muscle contraction. It binds with actin, another protein, to generate the force required for muscles to contract and produce movement. Myosin is commonly found in muscle cells and is responsible for their contraction and relaxation.
Assuming you meant microfilament, it is mostly comprised of linear polymers of actin, or actin filaments. Some use "actin filament" (or sometimes just "actin") and "microfilament" interchangably.
Microfilament disorders are a group of genetic conditions that affect the formation and function of microfilaments, which are components of the cell's cytoskeleton involved in cell structure and movement. These disorders can lead to a range of symptoms, such as muscle weakness, movement impairments, and developmental delays. Treatment may include physical therapy and supportive care to manage symptoms.
Microtubules are cyclindrical shaped polymers that help maintain and stabilize cell structure. They also have a major role in the transportation of molecules within the cell. They are part of the cytoskeleton, and the cytoskeleton is considered to be an organelle. The microtubules are only a fraction of an organelle under the cytoskeleton.
Myofilaments Actin, which constitutes about 25 percent of the protein of myofilaments, is the major component of the thin filaments in muscle (per Encyclopedia Britannica Online). Microfilaments Microfilaments or actin filaments are the thinnest filaments of the cytoskeleton found in the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells (per Wikipedia Microfilament).
its in both
dont care
both
actin and myosin?
Chandra Bhushan and Mrinal Halder
yes,thats what i think
cytoskeleton
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.
Part of cytoskeleton is what i would say. Helps cells move also.
An actinin is a microfilament protein which has a function in the attachment of actin fibres in muscle cells.
there are two balls on top of each other and they slowly swirl until they spin all the way around
