20
Q

Intermediate Filament has what motor

21
Q

Intermediate Filament has 4 functions

  2. give nucleus its shape
  3. connect skin cells
  4. hair, horns, claws
22
Q

microtubules is like a what

A

big hallow tube

23
Q

microtubule has 3 structures

A
  1. hollow tube
  2. made from tubulin subunits
  3. made at centrosome (made of 2 centrioles )
24
Q

microtubule has 3 properties

A
  1. rigid
  2. dynamic (changing)
  3. directional (add and take away)
25
Q

microtubule has 2 motors

A
  1. kinesin (motors move away from centrosome)

2. dynein (moves toward centrosome )

26
Q

microtubule has 3 functions

A
  1. highway of the cell
  2. chromosome separation (spindle apparatus)
  3. cell motility (cilia, flagella)( part of cell moves but not the whole. ex. arms moving but you’re body doesn’t)
