QUESTION 32
Microtubules can be assembled and disassembled quickly in response to the cellular changes is because:
1. | Cells synthesize tubulin proteins very fast. | |
2. | Cells can turn other cytoskeletal filaments into microtubules | |
3. | Microtubules have an instable plus end and microtubules are probably organized by weak non-covalent interactions | |
