Question:
Which of the following statements are correct? Explain your answers.
A. Kinesin moves endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes along microtubules so that the network of ER tubules becomes stretched throughout the cell.
B. Without actin, cells can form a functional mitotic spindle and pull their chromosomes apart but cannot divide.
C. Lamellipodia and filopodia are “feelers” that a cell extends to find anchor points on the substratum that it will then crawl over.
D. GTP is hydrolyzed by tubulin to cause the bending of flagella.
E. Cells having an intermediate-filament network that cannot be depolymerized would die.
F. The plus ends of microtubules grow faster because they have a larger GTP cap.
G. The transverse tubules in muscle cells are an extension of the plasma membrane, with which they are continuous; similarly, the sarcoplasmic reticulum is an extension of the endoplasmic reticulum.
H. Activation of myosin movement on actin filaments is triggered by the phosphorylation of troponin in some situations and by Ca2+ binding to troponin in others.
