Evaluate the following statements regarding motility in protists. Which of them are true? Select all that apply. Amoeboid motion requires ATPATP and interactions between the proteins actin and myosin. Some protists use flagella to swim. Amoeboid motion is common in species with cell walls. Some protists use cilia to swim, which are shorter and more numerous than flagella.

What does amoeboid motion result from? a. interactions among actin, myosin, and ATP b. coordinated beats of cilia c. the whiplike action of flagella d. action by the mitotic spindle, similar to what happens during mitosis and meiosis

Check the statements that correctly describe a form of nonmuscular movement. Check All That Apply 1. All nonmuscular movement is based on the action of microfilament or microtubule cytoskeletal elements. 2. In ameboid movement, ectoplasm exists in the more solid sol state and endoplasm exists in the fluid gel state. 3. The advancing tip of a pseudopodium is in the "fountain zone." Proteins of the plasma membrane in the fountain zone adhere to the substrate. The opposite end of an ameboid cell is called the "recruitment zone." 4. Eukaryotic cilia and flagella have essentially the same movement mechanisms. Doublet microtubules slide past one another when dynein arms of one doublet interact with an adjacent doublet. Cilia function in coordinated waves. Animal cells have a single flagellum that acts independently from that of an adjacent cell. 5. In addition to functioning in locomotion, cilia may also have sensory functions.

What are three structures which protists commonly use to accomplish motility (movement)? Pseudopods, flagellum, cilium fission, conjugation, and reproduction flagellum, cilium, and tails round, rod, and spiral
