Definition of the following biological terminologies:

(a) Microfilament

(b) F-actin

(c) G-actin

(d) Ameboid movement

(e) Intermediate filament

Introduction:

The cytoskeleton in our body is composed of microfilaments and microtubules. A family of multifunctional protein, shichform filament, ss called actin. When actin is present as a free monomer, it is referred to as G-actin. In contrast to this, when actin is present as a part of a microfilament, which comprises a linear polymer, it is referred to as F-actin.
