Step 1
Flagella and cilia are made up of microtubules, so the first statement matches with "2 microtubules." Show more…

Which of the following correctly matches a component of the cytoskeleton to one of its functions? 1) intermediate filaments contribute to cytoplasmic streaming 2) microfilaments form the nuclear lamina 3) microfilaments cause ciliary bending 4) microtubules move chromosomes 5) microtubules help animal cells divide in two

Classify each characteristic based on whether it describes actin filaments, intermediate filaments, and/or microtubules. Some characteristics may apply to more than one category. Primarily associated with movement Involved in cell division Protein composition varies from cell to cell Take part in formation of cell-to-cell junctions Support the plasma membrane Act as tracks along which organelles can move Short, cylindrical structures composed of 13 rows of tubulin Colchicine binds these fibers to block cell division The proteins of this fiber interact with myosin during muscle contraction Support the nuclear envelope Actin filaments Intermediate filaments Microtubules

Match the cytoskeleton component to its correct definition, function, or process. Answers may be used more than once. 1. Movement of cilia and flagella: Microtubules 2. Transport of vesicles: Microtubules 3. Muscle contraction: Actin filaments 4. Cytokinesis: Actin filaments 5. Structural support in skin cells and cells that line surfaces of the body and skin: Intermediate filaments 6. The largest cytoskeleton filament made of alpha- and beta-tubulin dimers: Microtubules
