Is cytoplasm and cytoskeleton the same thing?
No. The cytoplasm is the semi-fluid substance that fills the space between the nucleus and the cell membrane. It holds all of the organelles in suspension. The cytoskeleton is what holds the organelles in place, or moves them. It gives the cell its shape and structure. It also aids in the movement of the cell. Think of it like an orange: The white stuff would be the cytoskeleton giving an orange its circular shape, while the juice is the cytoplasm. (In reality the cytoskeleton is much less obvious in a cell and the cytoplasm is much more viscous than orange juice)
Is cytoskeleton in a animal cell?
Cytoskeletons are located inside of a cell. They give the cell shape and sometimes allow unicellar organisms to move. They do this by stretching their cytoskeletons.
What structure maintains cell shape help build cilia and flagella form centrioles in cell division?
the cytoplasm maintains the shape and help the cilia to process properly the cytoplasm maintains the shape and help the cilia to process properly
How are the function of the cytoskeleton and the wall similar?
The cytoskeleton is responsible for the shape of the cell. The cell wall is similar. in that it is also responsible for the shape of a cell in the cytoskeleton.
What maintains cell shape with a network of protein filamentsd?
The cytoskeleton maintains the cell shape with a network of protein filaments. The cytoskeleton also protects and helps with movement of cell.
How do the cytoskeleton and the cytoplasm contribute to cell's shape?
Cytoskeleton: made of small protein subunits that form long threads, or fibers, that crisscross the entire cell. Cytoplasm: jelly substance that contains dissolved molecular building blocks
What is a cytoskeleton like?
A cytoskeleton is a microscopic network of filaments int he cytoplasm of a cell. This cytoskeleton helps give the cell shape.
Part that gives the cell shape and holds the cytoplasm?
the cytoskeleton
Is in the cytoplasm provides support and gives the cell its shape?
Cytoskeleton
How do cytoskeleton and cytoplasm contribute to a cells shape?
Cytoskeleton: made of small protein subunits that form long threads, or fibers, that crisscross the entire cell. Cytoplasm: jelly substance that contains dissolved molecular building blocks
How do you use the word cytoplasm in a sentence?
The cytoplasm is a part of the cell.

What does the cyptoplasm do?
Cytoplasm functions as a "molecular soup" that holds together all of the cell's organelles, and divides the organelles within the cell. Cytoplasm is thought to be the "home"of the cytoskeleton; the cytoskeleton provides movement of the cell as well as its shape through the "cytoplasmic streaming", when the cytoskeleton moves to push the cell membrane it is then when the cytoplasm moves and fills the empty space. Proteins that occur in the cytoskeleton help to keep the shape of the cell, for the proteins are known to be used for "intracellular support". Also,cytoplasm contains nutrients that have been dissolved and it help for the dissolving of the waste products. Within the cytoplasm there are also "microtubules" which function as cell dividers, they are known for "temporary scaffolding"-for the other organelles.Actin Filaments are also rfound in cytoplasm and they also contribute to cell division as well as cell motility. Furthermore, the cytoplasm is composed of components that benefit the cell and keep the organelles separate from one another. hows that?
Microsopic cylinders that support and give cell shape?
cell wall now get back to your homework (;
Where is a cell's cytoskeleton?
In Both at prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell at cytoplasm
What structure maintains cell shape help build cilia and flagella form centrioles in cell division?
the cytoplasm maintains the shape and help the cilia to process properly the cytoplasm maintains the shape and help the cilia to process properly
