Question

Cilia and flagella bend because of _____. cilia and flagella bend because of _____. the quick inward movements of water by osmosis. a motor protein called radial spokes conformational changes in atp that thrust microtubules laterally a motor protein called dynein

Answer 1

Answer;

-A motor protein called dynein

Cilia and flagella bend because of a motor protein called dynein.

Explanation;

-Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain structures known as cilia and flagella. These extensions from the cell surface aid in cell movement. They also help to move substances around cells and direct the flow of substances along tracts.

-Cilia and flagella are formed from specialized groupings of microtubules called basal bodies. If the protrusions are short and numerous they are termed cilia. If they are longer and less numerous they are termed flagella.
