    Answer;

    A dynein molecule performs complex cycle of movement caused by changes in shape of the protein. ATP provides energy.

    Explanation;

    -Dynein is a family of cytoskeletal motor proteins that move along microtubules in cells. They convert the chemical energy stored in ATP to mechanical work. Dyneins travel toward the minus end of the microtubule (towards the center of the cell).

    -Dynein transports various cellular cargos, provides forces and displacements important in mitosis, and drives the beat of eukaryotic cilia and flagella.
