Question
what type of agent would be most likely to disrupt the structures of microvilli?
tubulin polymerization inhibitor
actin depolymerizing agent
actin cross - linking agent
actin polymerizing agent
microtubule disruptors
Microvilli are composed of actin - based filaments. An actin - depolymerizing agent would break down these filaments, thus disrupting the microvilli structure. Tubulin is related to microtubules, not microvilli. Actin cross - linking agents stabilize actin structures, and actin polymerizing agents promote actin filament growth. Microtubule disruptors affect microtubules, not the actin - based microvilli.
