Dynein motor proteins use ATP to:
A)carry vesicles along a microtubule within a cell in a minus-to-plus direction.
B)carry vesicles along a microfilament within a cell in a minus-to-plus direction.
C)carry vesicles along a microtubule within a cell in a plus-to-minus direction.
D)carry vesicles along a microfilament within a cell in a plus-to-minus direction.
E)slide along microfilaments to contract muscle cells.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dynein motor proteins are responsible for moving vesicles and other cellular cargo along microtubules towards the minus end, which is typically oriented towards the cell center, using ATP as an energy source. This is in contrast to kinesin motor proteins, which generally move cargo towards the plus end of microtubules.
