Question

ATP powers the movement of cilia and flagella in eukaryotic cell. These ATP molecules are hydrolysed into ADP+Ip in cilia and flagella by the activity

• A. Nexin protein
• B. Dynein protein
• C. Myosin of muscles
• D. Flagellin protein

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Dynein protein

Movement of cilia and flagella in a eukaryotic cell is powered by ATP and these ATP molecules are hydrolysed into ADP+Pi in cilia and flagella by the activation of dynein protein
Nexin protein is found in cilia and flagella and it prevents microtubules from moving
Myosin of muscles- It is found in animals

Flagellin protein is found in flagella and it made up the structure of it.

so correct answer is ' Dynein protein '
