C)kinesin
D)actin

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dynamin is a protein that plays a role in the pinching off of endocytic vesicles during endocytosis. It uses the energy from GTP hydrolysis to constrict the lipid bilayer and separate the vesicle from the plasma membrane. Tubulin is a protein that makes up microtubules and is not directly involved in endocytic vesicle formation. Kinesin is a motor protein that moves along microtubules and is not directly involved in endocytic vesicle formation. Actin is a protein that makes up actin filaments and plays a role in cell movement and muscle contraction but is not directly involved in endocytic vesicle formation.
