Chapter 3, Problem 11CYR
Mark the following statements about the cytoskeleton as true or false. If a statement is false, correct it to make a true statement.
a. Actin filaments combine with myosin motor proteins to provide the cell with mechanical strength.
b. The cilia found on sperm cells propel the cells through a liquid medium.
c. Microtubules are hollow tubes that align organelles and shuttle them to their proper places in the cell.
d. Intermediate filaments are ropelike structures composed of tubulin proteins.
e. Centrioles are part of the centrosome from which microtubules originate.
f. Endocytosis, exocytosis, muscle cell contraction, and cellular “crawling” are all mediated by intermediate filaments.

A. ciliary movement B.contractile ring of cleavage furrow C. pigment granule transport in fish scales D.axonal transport in neurons QUESTION 33 You are studying the role of microtubules and microfilaments in cell motility. You treat fibroblasts with cytochalasin, which inhibits microfilaments, or colchicine, which inhibits microtubules, and observe the following: In controls, the cells migrate in a directed way, elongating as they go. With cytochalasin treatment, the cells completely stop migrating while with colchicine treatment, the cells attempt to migrate in several directions at once. The best conclusion for this is: A Cytochalasin prevents cell migration and colchicine prevents directed cell migration. B. Microfilaments are necessary for cell migration and microtubules are necessary for directionality of migration. C.
