Q.

Which of the following statements regarding cilia is not correct
 a) The organised beating of cilia is controlled by fluxes of Ca^+across the membrane
 b) Cilia are hair-like cellular appendages
 c) Microtubules of cilia are composed of tubulin
 d) Cilia contain an outer ring of nine doublet microtubules surrounding two single microtubules

A.

(a) 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 Ca^(2+)across the membrane is not responsible for controlling the organised beating of cilia.
