Question asked by Filo student

Position of future cell plate is determined by microtubules

1. Microfilaments. The microfilaments are solid, unbranched, rod-like fibrits of indefinite length. They are mainly composed of a globular protein actin, but have filamentous protein myosin also They form an extensive network in the cytoplasm of cells and may be associated with plasma membrane Functions
2. The microliaments provide support to plasma membrane
3. These represent the contractile system of the cell and are involved in cytoplasmic streaming and amoeboid movements.
4. Help in pseudopodia formation
5. These help in the formation of cleavage furrow during cell division.
6. Intermediate Filaments Non-contractile hollow filaments of acidic proteins. They are involved in formation of scaffolds for chromatin and in forming a basket around nucleus.
