How do cells move?

Expert Solution

cell attach itself to a surface and make use of its front side to push to exert the force it needs. the rear part of the cell let go from the surface, allowing it to move forward,.

cell converts chemical energy into mechanical force when moving.Cell migration is done by three molecules working together. Integrins are molecules present on the cell surface that are able to connect themselves to other surfaces. Actin present inside of the cell membrane,which together form the skeleton of the cell. and the adaptor i.e is a protein that links integrin and actin together.

adaptor is used to binds the actin and integrin, the mechanical force from actin makes the integrin molecule to connect itself to a nearby partner surface, through which the cell can move slightly forward. after the cell's migration is complete, the integrin and actin molecules separate from each other in this part of the cell, while another part of the cell becomes active.

please give a thumbs up if the answer help you. Thank you!

So how do sailboats sail up wind? It is obvious how they move with the wind but definitely not so obvious how they go against the wind. Going along with this, baseballs would still fly even if there was no lift but how do frisbees and boomerangs work?
