What is the role of microfilaments in cell division

Biology

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.

Which part of the cell is selectively permeable? Why does it say so?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

cellular membranes

Explanation:

Cellular membranes are selectively permeable because they allow only certain molecules to cross into and out of the cell. The phospholipid bilayer is a selectively permeable membrane that surrounds all biological cells. The movement of molecules across the cell membrane bilayer can occur by passive transport (does not require energy) or active transport (requires energy). For example, water molecules pass passively through the cell membrane (passive transport), while other molecules pass through transmembrane proteins against a concentration gradient (active transport).
