A

Microtubules

50
Q

The centrosome has a pair of centrioles. Each with 9 triplets of _____ arranged in a ring

A

Microtubules

51
Q

Under Microtubules, microtubules control its beating. microtubule-containing extensions that project from some cells

A

Cilia and flagella

52
Q

motion of flagella

A

straight line

53
Q

motion of Cilia

A

uses power stoke and recovery strokes

54
Q

A motor protein, which drives the bending movements of a cilium or flagellum

A

dynein

55
Q

How dynein “walking” moves cilia and flagella?

A

Dynein arms alternately grab, move, and release the outer microtubules
Protein cross-links limit sliding
Forces exerted by dynein arms cause doublets to curve, bending the cilium or flagellum
