Answer:

Microfilaments, Intermediate filaments and microtubules

Explanation:

Three distinct elements make up the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells are:

1. Microfilaments or actin filaments which are composed of actin proteins. The functions of those filaments are: muscle contraction (myosin heads move “walk” on actin filaments), the movement of the cell,  intracellular transport, maintaince of the cell shape..

2. Intermediate filaments which can be made of vimentins, keratin, lamin, desmin… Their functions are: the maintenance of cell shape, anchoring organelles, structural components of the nuclear lamina, cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions…

3. Microtubules are filaments polymers of alpha and beta tubulin. Their roles are in intracellular transport (associated with motor protein dyneins and kinesins),  formation of the axoneme of cilia and flagella, formation of the mitotic spindle.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - A and C,

Explanation:

According to the graph, the following conditions are matched correctly with the temperature seasonal forest with other biomes:

The temperature seasonal forest has the precipitation range from 50 cm to 250 cm rainfall per year approximately. The average rainfall from this would be 150 cm/year or between 100 to 200 cm per year.

B. the temperature seasonal forest has a temperature between 15 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees celsius which is warmer than the boreal forest that has a temperature between 0 to 15 degrees Celsius approximately.
