What is the role of microfilaments in cell division

Biology
2 answers:
lesya [120]3 years ago

Answer:

Micro-filaments are long thread-like strands which are made up of repeating units of the protein actin.  

They with other network filaments like microtubule and intermediate filaments form the cytoskeleton of cell and also participate in the process of cell division at different levels like cytokinesis and mitosis.

1. During M-phase- at metaphase, they form spindle fibres which attach to the kinetochore of chromosomes and pull apart the chromosomes during anaphase.

2. During cytokinesis- in animal cells, at anaphase, they form actin fibres which forms contractile ring inside of the cell membrane and constrict animal cell from all sides.

Thus, micro-filaments plays an important role during cell division.

A - the spindle from the kinetochores that attaches to the chrs and pulls them towards the poles is a microfilament.

jenyasd209 [6]
The use of prokayotes and other organisms to clean up pollutants from soil, air, or water is called Bioremedation. Bioremedation is the use of living organisms for the recovery or cleaning up of a contaminated medium such as soil, sediment, air and water. It is actually a waste management technique that neutralizes pollutants from contaminated site using organisms. examples of bioremedation related technologies are mycoremedation, phytoremedation among others.

protons are pumped across the mitochondrial inner membrane as electrons are transferred through the mitochondrial electron trans
Ipatiy [6.2K]

If the facts about proton pumping are true, then protons are pumped into the matrix of the mitochondria.

<h3>What causes the electron transport chain's proton pumping?</h3>

Proton pumps are found in the electron transport chain's complexes I, III, and IV. The complexes absorb the energy generated when electrons migrate energetically downward and use it to pump H +start superscript, plus, end superscript ions out of the matrix and into the intermembrane gap.

<h3>when outside of the Matrix are protons pumped?</h3>

At complexes I, III, and IV, the matrix is pumped of protons (2 per complex). The resultant proton gradient drives ATP synthesis: 2 H+ are generated for every ATP. The inner mitochondrion is charged differently due to the proton gradient.
