Which mechanism is responsible for movement generated by motor proteins? a) It varies with the type of motor protein involved—myosin, kinesin, or dynein. b) Microtubules change conformation forcing motor proteins along it. c) They bind to components of the cytoskeleton. d) The motor proteins change shape when they gain or lose a phosphate group or bind to ATP.
