What else can I help you with?
Is fabric a solid or liquid or gas?
fabric is a solid because it stays together
Is fur a solid liquid or gas?
Fur is a solid. It is made up of tightly packed fibers that give it its fluffy texture.
How is keratin produced?
Keratin is produced by special cells in the skin called keratinocytes. These cells synthesize keratin protein from amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. The keratin proteins are then assembled into fibers that provide structural support and protection to the skin, hair, and nails.
Is papper a solid?
There is a mistake in your spelling - paper is a solid material. It is made from wood pulp and other fibers that are pressed and dried into thin sheets.
What is solid nitrogen called?
Solid nitrogen is called "nitrogen ice" or "nitrogen snow".
What are protein fibers that are very strong called?
Collagen
What are long fibers of DNA and protein called?
Long fibers of DNA and protein are called chromatin. Chromatin is the material that makes up chromosomes in eukaryotic cells and is composed of DNA wrapped around histone proteins.
What is the system of microscopic protein fibers that supports the shape of the cell called?
Cytoskeleton.
What are spindle fibers made of hollow tubes made of protein called?
microtubules
Fibers in the spindle that attach to the centromere of the chromosomes?
These are called kinetochore fibers. They are microtubules that attach to the kinetochore, a protein structure on the centromere of the chromosome, helping to move the chromosomes during cell division.
Spindle fibers are made of hollow tubes of protein called what?
Spindle fibers are made of microtubules, which are composed of the protein tubulin. These microtubules play a critical role in the segregation of chromosomes during cell division.
What thin solid protein fibers that provide structural support for eukaryotic cells?
MicrofilamentsThere are two types of proteins that make up the cytoskeleton. Microtubules and microfilaments. Since you asked what the "fibers" are I assume you are talking about the microfilaments.
What kind of protein is elastic fibers made of?
Elastic fibers are primarily composed of a protein called elastin, which provides elasticity and resilience to tissues. They also contain microfibrils made of the protein fibrillin, which helps to organize elastin and maintain the structural integrity of elastic fibers. Together, these proteins allow elastic fibers to stretch and recoil, making them essential for the function of various tissues, such as skin, lungs, and blood vessels.
Do myelin fibers contain any collagen?
Myelin fibers themselves do not contain collagen. Myelin is primarily composed of lipids and proteins, specifically a type of protein called myelin basic protein and other associated proteins that help in its structure and function. Collagen is a structural protein found in connective tissues, but it is not a component of the myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers.
Each individual protein structure that helps to move the chromosomes apart during mitosis is called what?
The individual protein structure that helps move the chromosomes apart during mitosis is called a microtubule spindle fiber. These fibers form the mitotic spindle, which helps align and separate the chromosomes during cell division.
What is Protein in white fibers?
Chondrocyte
What protein makes up a sponge?
The flexible protein fibers that make up a sponge are called spongin. The hard, tiny spikes found in sponges are called spicules, and they are made of silica or calcium carbonate.
