From the polymers listed, the ones which are found in natural sources are: protein, cotton and silk.
A polymer is a large molecule composed of many repeated subunits. Many small molecules (monomers) are bound by chemical reactions, called polymerization, and form the polymers. Polymers are widely used in many applications and they can either be synthetic or naturally occurring biopolymers. In the provided list, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and nylon are synthetic polymers. Polypropylene and nylon are thermoplastic polymers, and polyvinyl chloride (vinyl) is a plastic polymer. On the other hand, proteins are naturally occurring polymers produced by many amino acids. Cotton is formed by repeating units of cellobiose and it is a naturally occurring cellulose polymer. Finally, silk is a polypeptide and a linear fibroin polymer.

Cytoskeletal elements play important roles in cell division. The mitotic spindle apparatus is made of ________ and pulls sister
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Cytoskeletal elements play important roles in cell division. The mitotic spindle apparatus is made of "microtubules" and pulls sister chromatids apart, whereas the contractile ring is made of "actin filaments" and required for the separation of daughter cells at the end of the mitotic phase of the cell cycle.

Explanation:

The three chief organizational apparatuses of the cytoskeleton are microtubules (formed by tubulins), microfilaments (formed by actins) and intermediate filaments. All three apparatuses cooperate with each other non-covalently. The cytoskeleton is composed of protein filaments and is found throughout the inside of a eukaryotic cell. The cytosol is the main component of the cytoplasm, the fluid that fills the inside of the cell. The cytoplasm is everything in the cell except for the cytoskeleton and membrane-bound organelles.
