Function of the ureters?
The main function of the ureter is to transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder. There are two ureters in the body, and they are connected to each kidney.
What is the function of a Microfilaments in a plant cell?
in cells, microfilaments support cytoplasm and microtubules transport materials within cytoplasm
What is the function of a sytoskeleton?
The cytoskeleton is made up of three main parts. (microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules) They all help to maintain cell structure and cell shape.
What are the tiny strands called that are in a cell?
Microfilaments
Long threads made of actin?
Microfilaments.
What are 3 protein fibers found in cytoskeleton?
1. A network of microtubules mainly in ectoplasm2. cytoplasmic network of microfilaments (actin filaments)3. Intermidiate fillamentsthe main protein of cytoskeleton are tubulin, actin, and myosin.
What Microfilaments are made from ball shaped proteins called?

What is the function of the microfilament?
Microfilaments are thin, solid protein fibers that provide structural support for eukaryotic cells.
Which mechanism involves the drawing of actin microfilaments between myosin microfilaments?
The ratchet mechanism
What is the role of microfilaments incell division?
Microfilaments and microtubules that make up the cytoskeleton in the cell move/push the chromosomes and organelles into place for the various phases of cell division. (in metaphase, for example, they are moved to the metaphase plate (the center of the cell)) The organelles don't just randomly think "I think I'll move now." So I guess that would be the main role of microfilaments in cell division. :-)
What are microtubules and microfilaments and what are their functions?
Expert please, great Qn. Function: microfilaments - cell movement microtubules - involved in cell division Definition: Microtubules - hollow rod constructed of many molecules of the protein tubulin. Part of the cytoskeletion. microfilament - rod of actin protein in the cytoplasm that provides structural support or movement. Part of the cytoskeleton.
What is the main component of the ctyoskeleton?
The cytoskeleton is a series of proteins that are intercellular and which help with the support, shape and movement of cells. The three main componemnts that the cytoskeleton is composed of are microfilaments, intermediate filaments and microtubles.
Where are the microfilaments found?
In the cytoskeleton.
