Explained

Explanation:

the two aspects of the critical concentration are

- With respect to whether or not filaments will form in a reaction they will only form if the starting concentration of g-actin is above the critical concentration.

-With respect to reaction that contain both monomer and filaments at equilibrium, the concentration of monomer will be equla to the critical concentration.
