2

role of the microfilaments

they take part in cytokinesis, cytoplasmic transportation

they change the cell shape

they r responsible for the cell’s motility and contraction activity

3
New cards

explain actin treadmilling

this is where G-actin is continuously actively added to the (+) side and whereas on the (-) side it spontaneously being removed.

New cards

how do the microfilaments so dynamic stability

through the acting treadmilling that enables maintaince of there length
