While observing Elodea leaves under a microscope, a student notices the circular streaming of cytoplasm (cyclosis). This movement is primarily facilitated by which cytoskeletal element?
Q1. While observing Elodea leaves under a microscope, a student notices the circular streaming of cytoplasm (cyclosis). This movement is primarily facilitated by which cytoskeletal element?
Answer: Microfilaments
Explanation: Cyclosis is driven by microfilaments (actin). Microtubules are tempting as they also assist transport, but microfilaments specifically drive cytoplasmic streaming.
