All cells, except those of most bacteria, contain components of the cytoskeleton. They help the cell remain rigid but also help it move and change its shape when instructed to do so. Components of the cytoskeleton also enable cilia, flagella and sperm to move, cell organelles to be moved and positioned, and muscles to function. During cell division these components also assist by pulling the daughter chromosomes to opposite ‘poles’ in the dividing process. Throughout the life of the cell various molecules and cargo containing vesicles are transported around the cell by motor proteins. These move along the protein filaments using them as rail road tracts rather like a railway locomotive runs on.

What are long fibers of DNA and protein called?
It is called chromatin.
What protein fiber that forms the cell supporting network?
The meshlike network of protein fibers that supports the shape of the cell is either cellulose (cell wall) or the cytoskeleton (inside).
What is spindle fibers begin to form?
Spindle fibers are composed of a protein called myosin and originate from a cell organelle called the centriole
In mitosis what pulls the sister chromatids apart?
The spindle fibers. The spindle fibers that attach to the sister chromatids are called called chromosomal microtubles.
The yellow fibers that make connective tissue flexible is called what?
Elastic connective tissues have fibers that are composed of the protein elastin. And provide rubbery resiliency to matrix.
