Answer:
- Actin filaments are usually excluded from the cell cortex
Explanation:
In eukaryotic cells, actin proteins polymerize in order to form filaments. These actin filaments can be localized beneath the plasma membrane, where they form a network that helps to provide mechanical support. This network localized on the inner face of the plasma membrane is called 'cell cortex', which is a specialized structure that is attached to the cell membrane by Ezrin, Radixin and Moesin (ERM) proteins. The cell cortex plays key roles by controlling the cell shape, cell morphogenesis and membrane behavior.
