Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microfilaments are made of actin and are concentrated in the terminal web, which is located just beneath the plasma membrane in some cells. Myosin is a motor protein that interacts with actin, but it is not a component of microfilaments. Tubulin and microtubules are distinct from microfilaments. Microfilaments can interact with myosin and other motor proteins, such as dynein and kinesin. However, only statement C is accurate in describing the properties of microfilaments.
