Which of the following is not a cellular activity associated with microtubules?
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

A. maintenance of axons is not a cellular activity associated with microtubules.

Explanation:

Microtubules are hollow, bead-like, tiny tubular structure that helps cells maintain its shapes. Together with microfilaments and intermediate filaments, they form part of the cell's cytoskeleton. Microtubules also contributes to the cell movement or cytokinesis that includes muscle contractions in muscle cells. Microtubules also replicated chromosomes to opposite ends of a cell during cell division. Microtubules also contribute to the parts of the cell that help it move and are structural elements of cilia, centrioles and flagella. A bundle of microtubules makes up an axonemal structure of cilia and flagella.

How many calories are in an average trick-or-treaters halloween stash?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

The number of calories on a Halloween stash depends on the type of candies and the number of units of each. If the stash contains 5 units of each of these candies: chocolate bars, taffies, lollypops, and candy corn the total number of calories is 1,650.

Calories are the most common unit used to define the energy a specific food gives to your body. For example, an apple has 52 calories, while a banana has 89 calories.

Considering this, in a Halloween stash the calories depend on two factors:

  • The types of candies or products
  • The units of each one

Let's suppose there are 5 units of each of the following candies:

  • Chocolate bars
  • Taffies
  • Lollypops
  • Candy corn

Let's now calculate the calories

  • Chocolate bars = 220 calories x 5 units =  1,100 calories
  • Taffies = 20 calories x 5 units = 100 calories
  • Lollypops = 83 calories x 5 units = 415 calories
  • Candy corn = 7 calories x 5 = 35 calories

Add all the previous results:

1,100 + 100 + 415 + 35 = 1,650 calories in total
