Answer:

(a) Microfilaments

(b) Microtubules

(c) Microtubules

(d) Microfilaments

(e) Intermediate filaments

(f) Microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules

(g) Microfilaments, microtubules

(h) Microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules

(i) Microtubules, microfilaments

(j) Microtubules

Explanation:

Microtubules (MTs) are dimers of the protein tubulin (alpha- and beta-tubulin subunits) and they are major components of the cytoskeleton. MTs play diverse cellular roles including, mechanical support (cytoskeleton), transport, motility, chromosome segregation, etc. Microfilaments (MFs) are protein filaments that also form part of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells. MFs consist of G-actin monomers assembled in linear actin polymers, and their functions include mechanical support, cytokinesis, changes in cell shape, amoeboid movement, endocytosis and exocytosis, etc. MFs associate with the protein myosin to generate muscle contractions. Actin filaments/MTs assembly from monomeric actin/tubulin is caused due to energy expenditure, where ATP/GTP bound to actin/tubulin is hydrolyzed during polymerization. Finally, intermediate filaments (IFs) are a type of cytoskeletal element composed of a heterogeneous group of structural elements, and they are not found in all eukaryotes. The primary function of the IFs is to contribute to the mechanical support for the plasma membrane where these filaments come into contact with other cells and/or with the extracellular matrix. The IFs are not directly involved in cell movement. All 3 types of cytoskeletal elements (microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules) can be visualized by fluorescence microscopy when cells express chimeric MT/IF/MF.–GFP fusion proteins.

Identify the positive and negative regions of these two molecules to show these van der Waal forces.
weqwewe [10]

The Van der Waal’s forces are the forces, which are formed by the attraction of two opposite charged bodies. This charge exists due to the formation of the dipoles in the molecules or atom. The dipoles formed due to the movement of the electron in the atoms. The strength of the dipole or Van der Waal attraction depends on the size of the atoms or the molecule. As the size increases, the strength of the Van der Waal force increases. The positive and the negative regions are shown in the attached picture.

How does thermal energy affect particle movement?
Alika [10]
When heat<span> is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The </span>motion<span> and spacing of the </span>particles<span> determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular </span>motion<span> is that the object expands and takes up more space.</span>
