question 37

Multiple Choice

How are microtubules thought to affect cell shape in plants?

• A)Microtubules of the plant cell cortex are thought to affect the movement of cellulose-synthesizing enzymes in the cell membrane, which, in turn, affect cell wall growth and shape.
• B)Microtubules of the plant cell vacuole are thought to affect the movement of cellulose-synthesizing enzymes in the cell membrane, which, in turn, affect cell wall growth and shape.
• C)Microtubules of the plant cell cortex are thought to affect the movement of lipid-synthesizing enzymes in the cell membrane, which, in turn, affect cell wall growth and shape.
• D)Microtubules of the plant cell wall are thought to affect the movement of cellulose-synthesizing enzymes in the cell membrane, which, in turn, affect cell wall growth and shape.
• E)Microtubules of the plant cell nucleus are thought to affect the movement of cellulose-synthesizing enzymes in the cell membrane, which, in turn, affect cell wall growth and shape.
