Which of the following is NOT a correct description of how the cytoplasm moves in pseudopodia?
A)Actin filaments become cross-linked by an actin-binding protein forming a semisolid gel-like state called ectoplasm.
B)The nucleus codes for each movement using DNA and protein formation.
C)Interaction with lipids in the cell membrane releases actin subunits and allows them to polymerize into actin microfilaments.
D)Near the edge of the gel,calcium ions activate an actin-binding protein that releases the actin filaments from the gel.
E)Myosin pulling on the edge of the gel causes contraction that forces endoplasm toward the hyaline cap.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The movement of cytoplasm in pseudopodia is not directly coded by the nucleus. Instead, it is a result of the interactions between the cytoskeletal components, such as actin filaments and myosin. The nucleus does play a role in gene expression and protein synthesis, which can indirectly influence cytoplasmic movement.
