Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cytochalasin D only prevents actin polymerisation, it does not affect microtubules or other cytoskeletal elements. Therefore, a cell treated with cytochalasin D will still be able to move vesicles within a cell, which is a process that relies on microtubules rather than actin. The other choices (A, B, and C) all involve actin-dependent processes and would be affected by cytochalasin D treatment.
