Question

4 multiple choice 1 point which is the correct decreasing order of cytoskeletal elements from largest filament diameter to smallest filament diameter? microfilaments → microtubules → intermediate filaments microtubules → intermediate filaments → microfilaments intermediate filaments → microfilaments → microtubules microtubules → microfilaments → intermediate filaments

Explanation:

Cytoskeletal elements include microtubules (diameter about 25 nm), intermediate filaments (diameter about 10 nm), and microfilaments (diameter about 7 nm). So the order from largest to smallest diameter is microtubules → intermediate filaments → microfilaments.

Answer:

microtubules → intermediate filaments → microfilaments (the second option in the multiple - choice list)
