Microtubules are important for transporting cargo in nerve cell axons, as diagrammed in Figure Q17- 33. Notice that the two types of cargo are traveling in opposite directions. Which of the following statements is likely to be false? cell body microtubule axon Figure Q17-33 inward transport axon terminal outward transport The black cargo and the gray cargo are moving along microtubules of opposite polarity. The black cargo moving toward the axon terminal contains a domain that specifically interacts with the tail domain of a particular kind of motor. The black cargo and the gray cargo require ATP hydrolysis for their motion. The gray cargo is attached to dynein.
