WHAT DOES MICROFIBRIL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

microfibril

Microfibril

The microfibril is a very fine fibril, or fiber-like strand, consisting of glycoproteins and cellulose. It is usually, but not always, used as a general term in describing the structure of protein fiber, examples are hair and sperm tail. Its most frequently observed structural pattern is 9+2 pattern in which two central protofibrils are surrounded by nine other pairs. Cellulose inside plants is one of the examples of non-protein compounds that are using this term with the same purpose. Cellulose microfibrils are laid down in the inner surface of the primary cell wall. As the cell absorbs water, its volume increases and the existing microfibrils separate and new ones are formed to help increase cell strength.

Definition of microfibril in the English dictionary

The definition of microfibril in the dictionary is a submicroscopic fibril.
