Matter that is not used by consumers in the food chain become "detritus". Detritus, meaning debris or waste, are materials that are missed or uneaten by consumers. Because they do not participate in higher trophic levels, these materials are left to decompose. Detritus is often considered the "missing mass" when measuring the total mass in the food chain.

What are the differences in the dynamics of microtubules and actin filaments?

masya89 [10]

Answer:

Microtubules, like actin filaments, are dynamic structures: they can grow and shrink quickly by the addition or removal of tubulin proteins. Also similar to actin filaments, microtubules have directionality, meaning that they have two ends that are structurally different from one another. I hope this helps :)
