binds tightly to single tubulin molecules + prevents polymerisation, exposure of cell to this prevents spindle formation, taxol has opposite effect (10)
communication and transport between all the different areas (12)
made of actin (protein), determine + stabilize cell shape, help entire cell/part of cell to move, involved in cytoplasmic streaming + formation of pseudopodia (14)
non-pigmented cell in fish scaled, migrate very rapidly in culture, interference w/ actin halts cell migration (4, 13)
plasma membrane senses difference, transmembrane signal generated, actin cortex reorganised, centrosome moves to that part of cell, repositions internal membrane system (12)
rigid intercellular skeleton, tracks motor proteins can move along, formed from polymerization of tubulin monomers, stabilised by embedding in centrosome. (12)
serves as main microtubule organising centre, key role in mitosis (10)
use microtubule network as scaffold to position organelles, energy used to move along microtubules or actin filaments (5, 8)
