Proteins can be described as being either globular or fibrous in shape. Fibrous proteins O are an indigestible but important source of fiber in the diet are the subunits for microtubules. are made of globular proteins that link together to form long fibers are the subunits for intermediate filaments.

If you were to watch muscle tissue contract: Under a light microscope, would you see the muscle fibers get narrower, or the striations get thinner? Explain. At the EM level, focusing on one sarcomere, you would be able to see a region of thick filaments overlapping two regions of thin filaments. Use the structure of the thick filaments to explain how ONE region of thick filaments is able to pull in microfilament in two opposite directions (both toward the center of the sarcomere).
