how do nonkinetochore microtubules elongate the cell?

Microtubules stretch toward the centrosomes, and a spindle is made. The microtubules perform the anaphase slide, moving the chromosomes until they are centralized on the cell's equator. During anaphase, the paired chromatids are separated. ... Telophase results in cellular elongation by the nonkinetochore microtubules.

The cytoskeleton of a cell is made up of microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments. These structures give the cell its shape and help organize the cell's parts. In addition, they provide a basis for movement and cell division.

Each centriole is a symmetrical structure of nine microtubules arranged in a hollow cylinder. Each microtubule has two partial microtubules attached to it, and the two centrioles are located in the middle of the centrosome, arranged at right angles to each other.

The plant cytoskeleton is the network of protein filaments, microtubules, and interconnecting filamentous bridges that give shape, structure and organization to the cytoplasm of the plant cell.

Microtubules are components of centrioles, cilia, and flagella (see below). Microfilaments are solid, rodlike structures composed of actin. They provide structural support, and play a roll in phagocytosis, cell and organelle movement, and cell division. Intermediate filaments are tough fibers made of polypeptides.

Microfilaments, also called actin filaments, are polymers of the protein actin that are part of a cell's cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is the network of protein filaments that extends throughout the cell, giving the cell structure and keeping organelles in place.

Microtubules and Filaments. The cytoskeleton is a structure that helps cells maintain their shape and internal organization, and it also provides mechanical support that enables cells to carry out essential functions like division and movement.

In anaphase, cohesin proteins binding the sister chromatids together break down. sister chromatids (now called chromosomes) are pulled toward opposite poles. non-kinetochore spindle fibers lengthen, elongating the cell.

Together, interphase and cell division make up the cell cycle. Summarize what happens during interphase. During interphase, a cell increases in size, synthesis new proteins and organelles, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division by producing spindle proteins.

In anaphase, sister chromatids (now called chromosomes) are pulled toward opposite poles. In telophase, chromosomes arrive at opposite poles, and nuclear envelope material surrounds each set of chromosomes. Finally, in cytokenesis, the two daughter cells are separated.

While a tubulin homolog, FtsZ is different and mainly is involved in cell division. ... A general statement is that there are lots of similarities, but in eukaryotes the cytoskeleton serves many more purposes, for example the shuttling of vesicles around the cell by kinesin and dyenin on microtubules.

Giving shape to cells and cellular membranes. Cell movement, which includes a contraction in muscle cells and more. Transportation of specific organelles within the cell via microtubule “roadways” or “conveyor belts.” Mitosis and meiosis: movement of chromosomes during cell division and creation of the mitotic spindle.

In metaphase (a), the microtubules of the spindle (white) have attached and the chromosomes have lined up on the metaphase plate. During anaphase (b), the sister chromatids are pulled apart and move toward opposite poles of the cell.

The building-block of the axoneme is the microtubule; each axoneme is composed of several microtubules aligned in parallel. To be specific, the microtubules are arranged in a characteristic pattern known as the “9x2 + 2," as shown in the image at right.

Plant cells elongate irreversibly only when load-bearing bonds in the walls are cleaved. Auxin causes the elongation of stem and coleoptile cells by promoting wall loosening via cleavage of these bonds. This process may be coupled with the intercalation of new cell wall polymers.
758853
During prometaphase the nuclear envelope breaks down, allowing the kinetochore microtubules in the spindle to attach to the chromosomes. ... During metaphase the chromosomes are aligned at the equator of the cell midway between the centrosomes.

Which of these are hollow rods that shape and support the cell? Microtubules are rods that also play a role in organelle movement.
