The correct answer is: A. minus end; dynein

Microtubules are cytoskeletal fibers that have an important role in the intracellular transport (movement of vesicles within the cell) and in the mitotic spindle during mitosis. The plus end of the microtubules extend through the periphery of the cells while the minus ends are anchored within the centrosome.

Necessary proteins for the vesicle’s movement are motor proteins:

• kinesin  which is positive end directed

•  dynein which is negative end directed

So, beside vesicles these proteins are also involved in organelles’ transport in opposite directions through the cytoplasm.

Paper, cotton, and wood are all grown from plants and turned into resources. Next picking flowers, eating foods are also direct examples of how plants help us. Picking flowers that come directly from plants. Then eating food that is grown from plants shows that it is directly plants providing for humans.
