Which of the following statements regarding cilia is not correct?

  • The organized beating of cilia is controlled by fluxes of Ca2+ across the membrane

  • Cilia are hair-like cellular appendages

  • Microtubules of cilia are composed of tubulin

  • Microtubules of cilia are composed of tubulin


C.

Microtubules of cilia are composed of tubulin

Cilia are minute, harilike processes on the surface of protozoans or of metazoans cells ehich by their motion accomplish locomotion or produce a current. Each cilium contains a peripheral circle of nine doublet microtubules arranged around two single microtubules. Each microtubule is composed of tubulin proteins.
Although the mechanism of ciliary movement is not completely under stood. It is known that the microtubules behave as sliding filament that move past one another much like the sliding filaments of vertebrate skeletal muscle.
The fluxes of Ca2+ across the membrance is not responsible for controlling the organized beating or cilia.
