Which technique below can be used to measure the mechanical properties of the cytoskeletal elements themselves?
A)laser beams
B)atomic force microscopy
C)transmission electron microscopy
D)scanning electron microscopy
E)SDS-PAGE

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Atomic force microscopy can be used to directly probe and measure the mechanical properties of the cytoskeletal elements themselves, such as their stiffness and elasticity, by applying a small amount of force and measuring the resulting deformation. Laser beams and electron microscopies can provide imaging and structural information but do not directly measure mechanical properties. SDS-PAGE is a biochemical technique for separating and analyzing proteins and does not provide mechanical information.
