Retrograde Transport

Question

Retrograde transport
A)moves toward the cell body.
B)moves membranes,vesicles,and viruses.
C)uses molecular motor proteins of dynein.
D)All apply.

Accepted Answer

Retrograde transport is a process in which cellular components and signals are transported from the nerve terminal towards the cell body. This process is essential for the maintenance and repair of neurons. Retrograde transport can move not only membranes but also vesicles and viruses, using the molecular motor proteins of dynein to move in a directed manner towards the cell body. Therefore, all options apply.
