Question

Which of the following enzymatic protein of cilia & flagella is similar to muscle cells ?

• A. Lamin protein
• B. Nexin protein
• C. Spectrin protein
• D. Dynein protein

Answer 1

The correct option is A Lamin protein

D. Dynein proteins

Solution : Dynein proteins present in the axoneme of the cillia and flagella help in beating of them and convert chemical energy from ATP hydrolysis to mechanical energy that is similar to muscle cells where the actin and myosin interact with each other along with ATP hydrolysis for movement.

So the correct answer is " Dynein proteins".
