=== Cilium motion === The [[cilium]] construction of [[axoneme]] microtubules movement by the sliding of [[dynein]] protein was cited by Behe as an example of irreducible complexity.<ref>page 90: "Just as a mousetrap does not work unless all of its constituent parts are present, ciliary motion simply does not exist in the absence of microtubules, connectors, and motors. Therefore we can conclude that the cilium is irreducibly complex β an enormous monkey wrench thrown into its presumed gradual, Darwinian evolution."{{cite book| title = Signs of Intelligence, article Darwin's Breakdown: Irreducible Complexity and Design at the Foundation of Life| author = Behe, Michael| year = 1999| publisher = Brazos Press| isbn = 978-1-58743-004-6| author-link = Michael Behe| url-access = registration| url = https://archive.org/details/signsofintellige0000unse}}</ref> He further said that the advances in knowledge in the subsequent 10 years had shown that the complexity of [[intraflagellar transport]] for two hundred components cilium and many other cellular structures is substantially greater than was known earlier.<ref>pg 95 {{cite book| title = The Edge of Evolution | url = https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780743296205 | url-access = registration | author = Behe, Michael| year = 2007| publisher = FreePress division of Simon & Schuster| isbn = 978-0-7432-9622-9| author-link = Michael Behe}}</ref>
