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.

What results if water is heated and and highly pressured underground
Nadusha1986 [10]

The answer is; geysers


Due to the water underground being heated from geological reason such as heat from magma chambers, the water heats up and expands. The pressure of the rock above the water causes it to reach very high pressures. The water finds cracks and fissures in the rocks above until it reached the surface. The pressure releases and the water eject from the ground into a hot fountain.

The tissue(s) that is/are considered excitable because of the ability to generate electrical signals is/are called ________ tiss
REY [17]

Answer:

Muscle tissue and neural tissue

Explanation:

Excitability refers to the ability of muscle and nerve cells of the respective tissues to respond to a stimulus and generate an action potential. Both muscle cells and neurons respond to a stimulus and convert it into the action potential.

Action potential refers to the electrical signal. Propagation of action potential along the membranes of these cells results in muscle contraction and functioning of neurons.

The membrane potential of these cells changes in response to the stimulus and the changed potential is propagated to the other cells.
