Motor Proteins in Mitosis: Our belief that our bodies are only alive when we’re alive is a bit of a misnomer. The reality is that our bodies are built to get as much work done as possible. From a neurological standpoint, the body is a big machine. Even when we’re not at work, our bodies are engaged in a complex process, such as the digestion and elimination of food, keeping our bones strong, and supporting muscle and organs.
Our bodies don’t just sit around twiddling our fingers and playing on the piano. Our brains and nervous systems are very active. The brain is a complex electrical machine, which is why the “motor proteins” or “motors” have been the topic of much debate over the last few years.
Mitosis is a process by which cells divide to make more cells. The process is carried out by cells in the two daughter cells, called daughter cells or cells after the word. During mitosis, cells divide in two, and one cell gives birth to a daughter cell and the other cell gives birth to another daughter. Each of the daughter cells will then continue to grow, potentially becoming more and more specialized.
The first thing to understand about mitosis is that it does not involve a cell’s nucleus. During mitosis, the mitotic spindle (the spindle that transports chromosomes) is replaced by a filament that links the two daughter cells together. The spindle is a long, thin structure that is attached to microtubules. The microtubules are microscopic hollow tubes made of protein, and they have a very precise structure.
So to make sense of mitosis, we need to understand the structure of the spindle, or the microtubules (or what we think of as microtubules). The spindle is a long filament where the chromosomes are held and divided. The spindle is made up of microtubules which is attached to the spindle in a process called microtubule attachment. The microtubules are very long, and they attach to the ends of the chromosomes that are in the spindle.
So what are the microtubules doing in mitosis? As you might guess, they’re making proteins. The proteins are called motor proteins. Motor proteins like kinesin, dynein, and cytojoint are responsible for moving the chromosomes around the spindle. These motor proteins are constantly moving, but when they are moving, they are very complicated. The motor proteins are pretty huge, but the microtubule filaments aren’t.
Thats the most confusing part of this video so far. Its hard to say what these motor proteins are actually doing. It could be just that they are very complicated. Or it could be that they are the source of the movement, and all you need to do is find out.
There are two different ways to ask this question, but it is essentially the same question.
The microtubules are the parts of the cell that make the cell move. Each is made up of a long, thin protein called tubulin, and each filament travels through the cell with the help of motor proteins. You can see in the video that each filament is made up of a number of these motor protein molecules. These motor proteins are pretty complicated things, but the way they move the cell through the cell is very interesting.
The microtubule can move at speeds of up to about 40 micrometers per second. At each point along the microtubule, they are attached to a motor protein. These motor proteins move along with the microtubules. One study, published in 2012, shows that when a microtubule moves to a new point it can rotate the microtubule around the motor protein, causing it to move at a much slower rate.
