State whether the following is true or false.
Intermediate filaments are so named because they are intermediate in diameter between microfilaments and microtubules.

  • A.True
  • B.False
  • C.True only at large scales
  • D.False only at small scales

Answer: A

At around ten nanometres they lie between the seven of a microfilament and the twenty-five of a microtubule. The name is purely descriptive of size and says nothing about their function, which is chiefly mechanical rather than to do with movement or transport.
