Question

The division of a bacterial cell into two daughter cells is accomplished by a protein called FtsZ. FtsZ is very similar to the tubulin subunits that form microtubules in eukaryotes. After the replicated bacterial chromosomes have moved to opposite ends of the cell, a ring of FtsZ proteins forms inside the plasma membrane in the region where the cell will divide. As the FtsZ ring constricts, the plasma membrane and bacterial cell wall fold in and eventually separate into two cells.Plant and animal cells also require cytoskeletal proteins for cytokinesis, although the roles these proteins play differ among bacteria, plants, and animals.For each space in the table, drag the appropriate label to indicate if the statement is true or false for each group of organisms.Statement Bacteria Animals PlantsTrue Cells divide by constriction of a ring of protein __________ _________ ________False The presence of a cell wall prevents the cell from ... __________ __________ _________dividing by constrictionTubulin subunits or tubulin-like molecules function... __________ __________ __________in the division of the cell

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Cells divide by a constriction of a ring protein:

Bacteria : True

Animal : true

Plants : False

2. The presence of a cell wall prevents the cell from dividing by constriction:

Bacteria: false

Animals: false

Plant cells: True

3. Tubulin subunits or tubulin-like molecules function in the division of the cell

Bacteria: true

Animals: false

Plant cells: True
