Interaction among actin, myosin and ATP

The amoeba uses two mechanically distinct mechanisms to push itself forward a filopodia - lamellipodia mechanism that depends on action polymerisation and a bleb mechanism in which a local region of membrane where the cortical - cytoplasmic pressure generated by myosin.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Sol-gel theory explains that it is the method for producing solid material from small molecules. The process involves the conversion of monomers into a colloidal solution (sol) that acts as the precursors for an integrated network (or get) or either discrete particles or network polymers.

So, the correct option is 'attachment to substratum'.
