Cellular crawling motion is accomplished by:

A. the polymerization of microfilaments along
the leading edge in response to an activated
cell surface receptor.
B. the depolymerization of microfilaments
along the leading edge in response to an
activated cell surface receptor.
C. the contraction of microfilaments along the
leading edge in response to an activated cell
surface receptor.
D. the polymerization of microfilaments along
the trailing edge in response to an activated
cell surface receptor.
E. All of these choices can contribute to rapid
shifting of direction of crawling motion.
