Explanation / Answer

12. An in vitro assembly reaction for microtubules or microfilaments consists of an energetically unfavorable step referred to as NUCLEATION _. This step involves the formation of small
GAG FRAGMENTS that promote further assembly.

13. The assembly subunit for microtubules is a dimer of TUBULIN preferably associated with
( ATP / ADP / GTP / GDP ). The assembly subunit for microfilaments is a monomer of
ACTIN , preferably associated with ( ATP / ADP / GTP / GDP ).

14. The role of nucleotide hydrolysis in the assembly dynamics of microtubules and microfilaments is fundamentally to promote rapid ENERGY AND POLYMERISATION
