Question

Write two sentences or clues, one for each word, that will help you remember the difference between actin and myosin. (Example: Actin is actively pulled)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Actin produces thin contractile filaments within muscle cells,

Myosin produces the dense contractile filaments within muscle cells

Explanation:

Actin is a globular protein that makes actin filaments by arranging in the long spiral chain or produces thin contractile filaments within muscle cells. It is found in cell cytoplasm as well as in the nucleus in eukaryotic cells.

Myosin is a motor protein that produces the dense contractile filaments within muscle cells and plays role in generating movement and force from chemical energy.
