(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.
Answer:
natural selection is animals slowly adapting to its environment
an example is giraffes, giraffes with longer necks will be able to consume more food than giraffes with shorter necks as they they can reach for the leaves on trees. over time the giraffes with shorter necks become extinct and giraffes with longer necks still remain.
Answer:
Behavioral responses in organisms require communication between an organism and its environment (option C).
Explanation:
The behavior of an organism depends on the function of relationship with the environment that surrounds it, and the way to respond to the diverse stimuli that are in this environment.
Behavioral responses always occur as a result of the interaction between the physical environment and other living organisms. This interaction triggers a series of stimuli that are perceived by the senses and processed by each organism, developing an appropriate response to each of them.
Answer:
68 1/2 foot length
Or 22 5/6 yards.
Explanation:
The yard length of the part of the goal post
The base (10 foot)
The crossbar (18 1/2 )
And two arms (20 foot each)
Let's sum up the total yards
=(10 + 18 1/2 + 20 +20) foot
= 68 1/2 foot length
Or 22 5/6 yards.
Answer:
Viruses cannot reproduce on their own, but inject their DNA into living cells in order to make copies of themselves.
Explanation:
A virus cannot reproduce itself outside the host because it lacks the complicated machinery that a [host] cell possesses.
