Document Summary

Kinesin and dynein at work: fish that can change colour according to time of the day for camouflaging to avoid predators. In the dark, melanin granules are dispersed outward by kinesin, causing the embryo to be darkly colored. In the light, melanin granules are aggregated toward the center by dynein, causing the embryo to be lightly colored: active process by dynein dynein doesn"t just move vesicles around. Cilia and flagella: cilia and flagella use microtubules to propel the movement of cells or the movement of substances surrounding cells. In cilia and flagella, the microtubules associate with the motor protein dynein, which causes movement. Eukaryotic flagellum: not super concerned that we know all about this. Instead of dynein being attached to a microtubule and a cargo vesicle, it"s attached to two microtubules in both cilia and flagella so that the cell can wiggle.
