Solution

9+2 Arrangement:

  1. The microtubules, which together produce cylindrical structures such as flagella and cilia, are arranged in a 9+2 pattern.
  2. The 9+2 configuration is made by 9 fused pairings of microtubules on the outside forming a cylinder and two unfused microtubules in the center of these 9 pairs.
  3. The molecular motors here are the dynein arms, which are shown coupled to the microtubules.
  4. Microtubules are made up of tubulin protein.
