protein control of cell division Flashcards
1
Q
what does the cytoskeleton do?
A
gives support and shape to the cells
2
Q
what is one protein structure within the cytoskeleton
A
Microtubules
3
Q
what are microtubules
A
hollow cylinders that have the protein tubulin
4
Q
where do microtubules come from?
A
microtubule organising centre/ centrosome
5
Q
what does cell division of the cytoskeleton require?
A
remodelling
6
Q
what does the formation and breakdown of microtubules involve?
A
polymerisation and depolymerisation of tubulin
7
Q
what do microtubules form?
A
spindle fibres that are active during cell division
