1 answer:

5 0

The cytoskeleton is a structure found in the cytoplasm that is composed of a web of proteins. It is a network composed of protein microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. They can be found in all living organisms and are responsible for giving them their distinct cell shapes and coherence.

Aside from providing the cell shape, the cytoskeleton is also responsible for cell movement, organelle movement, and cell division. It plays a crucial role in cell division because they provide the movement of chromosomes to the daughter nucleus. The absence of these protein filaments would result to different abnormalities and diseases in the genes.

What makes water “neutral “ (pH of 7)

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Even in pure water ions tend to form due to random processes (producing some H+ and OH- ions). The amount of H+ that is made in pure water is about equal to a pH of 7. That's why 7 is neutral. ... In pure water near room temperature, the concentration of H+ is about 10-7 moles/liter, which gives a pH of 7.
