What else can I help you with?
What is the structure of the cytoskeloton?
The cytoskeleton is made out of microtubes- specifically intermediate filaments and actin filaments.
What makes up a myofibril?
Myofibrils are made up of actin (thin filaments) and myosin (thick filaments).
The thick filaments of muscle fibers are composed of what?
Myosin
What are the 3 different types of myofilaments?
The three different types of myofilaments are thick filaments, thin filaments, and elastic filaments. Thick filaments are composed of myosin protein, thin filaments are primarily made of actin protein, and elastic filaments (also known as titin) provide elasticity and stability to the sarcomere.
Does cells have cytoskeletons made of bone?
No, cytoskeletons are made of protein filaments
What are the 3 types of filaments within a muscle and what protein makes up each filament?
The three types of filaments within a muscle are thin filaments, thick filaments, and elastic filaments. Thin filaments are primarily composed of the protein actin, while thick filaments are made up of myosin. Elastic filaments, which help maintain the structure and elasticity of the muscle, are primarily composed of the protein titin. These filaments work together to facilitate muscle contraction and relaxation.
What are actin and myosin and are they organized iin a muscle?
Thick filaments are made of the protein myosin and thin filaments are made of the protein actin. Myosin and actin filaments are arranged to form and overlapping pattern which gives muscle tissue its striated appearance.
What are Cytoskeletal filaments built of?
Cytoskeletal filaments are built of protein subunits. The three main types of cytoskeletal filaments are actin filaments (microfilaments), intermediate filaments, and microtubules, each made of specific proteins such as actin, keratins, and tubulins, respectively. These filaments help maintain cell shape, support organelles, and facilitate cell movement.
What is one hundred fils?
A thread is usually made up of a number of filaments that are twisted together. One hundred fils refers to a thread made from 100 fibres or filaments.
What are the thin filaments in a muscle made of?
actin, troponin, tropomyosinMyosin
Who made the method for making carbon filaments?
lewis latimer
What part of the cytoskeleton is made of actin subunits?
Micro filaments
