How many constituent proteins are present in a chlamydomonas flagellum?
Chlamydomonas is a eukaryote so I assume it has the same basic flagellar structure as other eukaryotes. The eukaryotic flagella is composed of microtubules in a 9+2 arrangement, with a basal body at the base, and the protein dynin interspersed throughout the length. It is also covered in the cell’s plasma membrane. The basal body and the microtubules are both macro assemblies of two protein constituents: alpha-tubulin and beta-tubulin.
