Which of the following is FALSE regarding lamellipodia?
their formation is stimulated by extracellular signals
their formation requires motor protein activity
they extend at the leading edge of crawling cells
their formation requires activity of actin-binding proteins
they contain branched networks of actin filaments
Arthropods are known for displaying "tagmosis", which means that
arthropods have tagma. The tagma of arthropods;
Are the jointed appendages on the thorax
Are the wings which are outgrowths of the exoskeleton
Are fused body segments that are specialized for certain functions
Are the specialized mouthparts they use to feed
