Answer: d. none of the other answers

Explanation:

Enzymes that turn chemical energy into mechanical work are molecular motors.

There are three main components of cytoskeleton including microtubules, actin filaments and Intermediate filaments. Only actin filaments and microtubules carry the motor-driven transport on the cytoskeleton.

The most important feature of intermediate filaments is to provide the plasma membrane with mechanical support where it comes into contact with the extracellular matrix and other cells.

Unlike microtubules and microfilament , intermediate filaments are not involved in motility of the cells, hence do not associat with molecular motors.

Hence, the correct option is d.

Which of these is ATP?

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is <em>A molecule consisting of three phosphate groups, ribose, and adenine.</em>

Explanation:

ATP means adenosine triphosphate, and it is a molecule which has a very important role in energy transfer in the cells. As its name says, it is composed by:

- adenine: a purine base, which is also a component of nucleic acids.

- ribose: a 5-carbon sugar (in contrast to deoxyribose, ribose has a -OH group in place of a -H group in carbon 2)

- three phosphate groups

Notice that adenine bonded to the ribose is called adenosine.
