Question

Microtubule dynamics (polymerization and depolymerization) is important in many processes, mention at least two of them and specify the function of microtubules in the ciliary beating.

Answer 1

Answer:

• Microtubules are cellular components that are required for a variety of essential processes such as cell motility, mitosis, and intracellular transport. This is possible because of the inherent dynamic properties of microtubules.
• Function of microtubule in ciliary beating:Cilia is a microtubule based organelles that extend from the surface of eukaryotic cells. Ciliary movements is generated by Microtubule sliding with axonemal dynein motors and play important roles in cell migration and generation of external fluid flow.
