Which of the following is NOT true of axonal transport?
A)uses molecular motors
B)can transport anteroretrograde
C)has one fast and two slow components
D)is a passive process

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Axonal transport is an active process that uses molecular motors to transport materials along the axon. It can transport materials in both the anterograde (from the cell body to the axon terminal) and retrograde (from the axon terminal to the cell body) directions. There are actually two fast components (fast anterograde and fast retrograde) and one slow component (slow anterograde). Therefore, D is the statement that is NOT true of axonal transport.
