Question
Which of the following statements are TRUE? Select all correct answers.Group of answer choicesIntermediate filaments enable transport around the cell.Intermediate filaments are present in fungi.Intermediate filaments are absent from plant cells.Intermediate filaments are formed of rod-shaped monomers.
Solution
The following statements are TRUE:
- Intermediate filaments are absent from plant cells.
- Intermediate filaments are formed of rod-shaped monomers.
Explanation:
- Intermediate filaments do not enable transport around the cell. This function is primarily performed by microtubules and actin filaments, not intermediate filaments.
- Intermediate filaments are not present in fungi. They are primarily found in animal cells.
- Intermediate filaments are indeed absent from plant cells. This is because plant cells have a rigid cell wall that provides structure and support.
- Intermediate filaments are formed of rod-shaped monomers. These monomers intertwine to form a strong, rope-like structure.
