A

Creates tracks within the cell for movement of structures to the periphery; anchor organelles to one another; form permanent structure; move chromosomes

32
Q

Q

Spectrin

A

associated with red blood cells. It is also a protein that helps connect actin and myosin , Helps stabilize the red blood cell. Helps cause contractions to decrease the size of the cell.
