Question

Which of the following have the ability to disassemble and reform quickly?

a) Intermediate filaments
b) Microtubules
c) Microfilaments
d) Centrioles

Answer 1

Both microfilaments and microtubules have the ability to disassemble and reform quickly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is c) microfilaments and microtubules. Both microfilaments and microtubules have the ability to disassemble and reform quickly. Microfilaments, made of actin protein, support the cell structure and allow the cell to move by forming cytoplasmic extensions. Microtubules, made of alpha-tubulin and beta-tubulin dimers, help maintain cell shape, hold organelles in place, and form the mitotic spindle during cell division.
