Which term best characterizes the motility of a two-headed


Which term best characterizes the motility of a two-headed motor such as kinesin or dynein?

A running- because the motors move fast in a cell in a motion similar to a person running

B walking- because the motors always have to keep at least one contact with the microtubule similar to how a person walks

C hopping- because the best motility in a cell happens when a motor detaches both heads and hops to a new spot along the microtubule.

D gliding- because two headed motors never pick up their heads- the heads just glide along the microtubule
