Persistence length for a cytoskeletal filament is the minimum filament length at which random thermal fluctuations are likely to

cause it to bend. Which of the following comparisons are true, considering the persistence lengths of (a) an actin filament, (b) a bundle of cross-linked actin filaments, and (c) a microtubule

The provided question is incomplete as the group of choices were not given, however, the choices as follows:

A. (a > b) and (a > c)

B. (a > b) and (a < c)

C. (a < b) and (a > c)

D. (a < b) and (a < c)

E. (a > b) and (b > c)

Answer:

The correct answer is - D. (a < b) and (a < c)

Explanation:

The persistent length of actin filaments,  a bundle of cross-linked actin filaments and microtubules can be compared on their typical persistent length.

The persistent length of actin filaments is 15 µm. And due to the crosslink with one another to make a bundle their length reduced  As the actin filaments cross-link each other their persistent length will be reduced. however, it is still longer than single actin filament around 20 nm.

The persistent length of microtubules is 6mm.

So b > a, a < b and a < c.

So fourth option a < c and b > a is the correct answer.

What type of chemical bond if formed when one atom loses an electron and another atom gains an electron ?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: ionic bond

Explanation: Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

Answer:

The answer is movement toward or away from Earth.

In astronomy, it is said that the Doppler effect tells Astronomers whether a star, or galaxy, is approaching or going away from us. It turns out the farther a galaxy is away, the faster it gets away from us - meaning that the Universe is expanding.

hope this helps :)
