Question
Chapter 4.6, Problem 3C
Summary Introduction
To determine: The role played by microtubules in movement by cilia and flagella.
Concept introduction: Cytoskeleton is a complex network of interlinking filaments and tubules that is made up of microtubules, actin filaments (microfilaments), and intermediate filaments. It provides shape of a cell, offers support, and facilitates in cell movement.
