Cells Require Which of the Following to Form Cilia or Flagella

Question

Cells require which of the following to form cilia or flagella?
A)centrosomes
B)laminin
C)actin
D)intermediate filaments
E)secretory vesicles

Accepted Answer

Centrosomes are required for the formation of cilia or flagella, as they act as a microtubule-organizing center from which microtubules extend to form the structural basis of the cilia or flagella. Laminin is a extracellular matrix protein and not directly involved in the formation of cilia or flagella. Actin and intermediate filaments are not involved in the formation of cilia or flagella. Secretory vesicles are involved in exocytosis and are not directly involved in the formation of cilia or flagella.
