The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding microtubules and identify the incorrect statement, we will analyze each of the provided statements one by one. 1. **Statement 1: They are able to move vesicles and other storage inclusions.** - Microtubules are indeed involved in the movement of vesicles within the cell. They serve as tracks along which motor proteins transport cellular materials. Therefore, this statement is **true**. 2. **Statement 2: These are a cytoskeletal area.** - Microtubules are a key component of the cytoskeleton, which provides structural support and shape to the cell. They play a role in maintaining the cell's integrity and facilitating cellular movements. Thus, this statement is also **true**. 3. **Statement 3: They are linear polymers of tubulin.** - Microtubules are composed of tubulin protein subunits that polymerize to form long, hollow tubes. This characteristic is fundamental to their structure. Therefore, this statement is **true**. 4. **Statement 4: They make up the thin myofilament actinous skeletal wall.** - This statement is incorrect because thin myofilaments are primarily made of actin, which is a component of microfilaments, not microtubules. Microtubules do not form the thin myofilaments in skeletal muscle. Hence, this statement is **false**. Based on the analysis, the statement that does not apply to microtubules is the fourth one: "They make up the thin myofilament actinous skeletal wall." ### Final Answer: The statement that does not apply to microtubules is: **"They make up the thin myofilament actinous skeletal wall."**
