The solid linear cytoskeletal elements having a diameter of 7 nm and made up of a single type of monomer are known as:
Options
- AMicrotubules
- BMicrofilaments
- CIntermediate filaments
- DLamins
Correct answer
B. Microfilaments
Step-by-step solution
Microfilaments or actin filaments are long cytoskeletal filaments present in the cytoplasm of the eukaryotic cells. These filaments are primarily composed of polymers of actin and are 7 nm in length. The globular monomeric actin polymerizes to form the filamentous F-actin.
