1) Three types of protein fibers make up the cytoskeleton. Which protein type is mismatched to its function? intermediate filaments: provide strength to the cell microfilaments: help with cell contraction microtubules: provide tracks on which organelles can move along microfilaments: help with cell division intermediate filaments: help pull chromosomes apart during cell division 2) What is the common property of competitive and noncompetitive enzyme inhibitors? They make it impossible for the substrate to bind to the active site. They speed up metabolic reactions. They bind to the enzyme's active site. They prevent the enzyme from doing its job.
