1a) Why microtubules are called polar filaments? What is the basis for this polarity? How is polarity related to microtubule organization within the cell, and how is polarity related to the intracellular movements powered by microtubule-dependent motors? 1b) What are intermediate filaments? Describe in detail the structural organization of intermediate filaments. 1c) Explain with suitable schematic the regulation of eukaryotic cell cycle at G1/S transition.

1) compare and contrast microtubules and intermediate filaments of fhe cytoskeleton in terms of structure, physical properties and functions. This means you should have one paragraph describing how they are similar and a second paragraph describing how they are different. 2) Compare and contrast channels and facilitated diffusion carriers in terms of what they transport, their structure, how they function and their general properties. This means you should have one paragraph describing how they are similar and a second paragraph describing how they are different.

There are three major classes of filaments that make up the cytoskeleton. What are they, and what are the differences in their functions? Which cytoskeletal filaments would be most plentiful in a muscle cell or in an epidermal cell making up the outer layer of the skin? Explain your answers.
