Chapter 17 cell biology- cytoskeleton

Biology
Main concepts and a few questions from the chapter

Sample Data

Front T/F GTP is hydrolyzed by tubulin to cause the bending of flagella
Back False. Dynein motor proteins attached to the outer microtubules in the flagellum hydrolyze ATP, causing bending
Tags Cytoskeleton
Front What is "dynamic instability"?
Back Alternation between growth and shrinkage, usually balancing out in the steady state of polymerization
Tags Cytoskeleton
Front How do microtubules grow?
Back Minus ends remain embedded in the centrosomes of the mitotic spindle, and grow outward
