Question

As a cell grows, which microtubule-associated protein pulls the ER membrane outward, stretching it like a net?Choose one:

A. dynein
B. actin
C. cohesin
D. kinesin

Answer 1

Kinesin is the microtubule-associated protein that stretches the ER membrane like a net as a cell grows.

Step-by-step explanation:

The microtubule-associated protein that pulls the ER membrane outward, stretching it like a net as a cell grows, is kinesin. Kinesin is a motor protein that uses the free energy of ATP hydrolysis to power intracellular transport. It can walk along microtubule tracks and carries cargo, including organelles like the ER, from one place to another in the cell.
