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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Is microfilament in a plant or animal cell?
both
Made of microfilament and microtubles in the cytoplasm for support of the nucleolus?
cytoskeleton
What is the organelle that provides the internal structure for a cell?
The organelle that provides internal structure for a cell is the cytoskeleton. It is made up of protein fibers that give the cell shape, help with cell movement, and provide a framework for organelles to be organized within the cell.
What household item represents microfilament?
A common household item that represents microfilament is a fine fishing line. Similar to microfilaments in cells, which are composed of actin proteins and provide structural support and shape, fishing line is thin yet strong, allowing it to withstand tension while remaining flexible. Additionally, microfilaments play a critical role in cellular movement and division, paralleling how fishing line can be used for precise control in various fishing techniques.

Microfilament plant or animal?
its in both
What are the characteristics of the Microfilament?
dont care
Is microfilament in a plant or animal cell?
both
What is a molecule found inside the microfilament?
actin and myosin?
Who discovered Microfilament?
Chandra Bhushan and Mrinal Halder
Are microfilament found in plant cell?
yes,thats what i think
Made of microfilament and microtubles in the cytoplasm for support of the nucleolus?
cytoskeleton
Long thin fiber that functions in the movement and support of cell?
Microfilament
What are Analogies for microfillament?
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.
What is a microfilament?
A microfilament is a small filamentous structure found in cells, made up of actin protein subunits. Microfilaments are involved in various cellular processes such as cell movement, cytokinesis, and maintenance of cell shape. They are part of the cytoskeleton, which provides structural support to the cell.
Description of microfilament?
Part of cytoskeleton is what i would say. Helps cells move also.
