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.

When fasting continues long beyond glycogen depletion, body protein will be broken down to make glucose?
Ede4ka [16]
Answer;
The above statement is true;
When fasting continues long beyond glycogen depletion, body protein will be broken down to make glucose,

Explanation;
When the body runs low on fuel, it utilizes the stored glycogen in the liver and muscle, which is the primary source of stored energy. The after the depletion of glycogen the body burns fat, and if fasting continues the body begins to break down non essential proteins for energy.  protein is the last source of stored energy available to the body.

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

B.sea floor spreading

Explanation:

The creation of new crusts at the middle of the mid- ocean ridges is also sea floor spreading.

The process of sea floor spreading entails the creation of new crusts at the margin of the oceanic crusts.

Basaltic materials from the subsurface upwells to the surface.

They cool and solidifies to form new crusts. The old crust is moved behind and away from the margin. This way, sea floor is formed and it spreads in like manner.

At this margin sea floor is created and at a convergent margin, it is destroyed.
