Amoeboid movements and movement of cyclosis is due to_________?
Correct answer: A. Microfilaments
- A. Microfilaments
- B. Microtubules
- C. Intermediate filaments
- D. Cytoskeleton
Explanation
Microfilaments made mainly of actin produce amoeboid movement and help generate cytoplasmic streaming, also called cyclosis, through interactions with myosin. The likely alternative is microtubules because they support cilia and flagella, but microtubules are not the main structures responsible for these movements.
