The threadlike structures that provide support and shape for cells are called cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton consists of protein filaments, such as microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments, which give the cells their structural integrity and help in cell movement and division.

Threadlike structures that control a cells activities are?
Nucleus
What would happen if the glial Cells stopped working?
Glial Cells and Astrocytes provide the bi-Cellular support structures that maintain and support Neuronal tissues. Neurons would cease to function.
These cells provide physical support nurshment and electrical insulation for olfatory receptors cells?
These cells are called sustentacular cells or supporting cells. They surround and support the olfactory receptor cells in the olfactory epithelium. They provide physical support, nourishment, and electrical insulation to the olfactory receptor cells, helping to maintain their function.
What are 3 cytoskeletal structures which help support cells?
Microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate filaments
What type of neuroglial cells provide support and nutrition to sensory ganglia in the PNS?
satellite cells
Threadlike structures that control a cells activities are?
Nucleus
What are threadlike structures in nucleus of cells that contain genes?
DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, is the structure that contains the genes.
What are the two structures that provide plant cells with extra support?
Cell membrane and cell wall.
What structures provide support in animal cells?
There actually is not a structure that provides support in an animal cell because they lack a definite shape. Animal cells only have cell membranes, but those do not provide rigid support like that of the cell wall in plants.
What would happen if the glial Cells stopped working?
Glial Cells and Astrocytes provide the bi-Cellular support structures that maintain and support Neuronal tissues. Neurons would cease to function.
Threadlike structure within the nucleus containing the genetic info that is passed from one generation of cells to another?
The nucleus of a cell contains threadlike structures that contain genetic material called chromosomes.
What is used to provide support for cells in multicelled organisms plants?
What is used to provide support in plants for cells in multicelled organisms
What structures give strength and support to plant cells?
cell wall
What do plant cells also have that serves to provide strength and support to the cell?
Plant cells have a cell wall that serves to provide strength and support to the cell. Plant cells also have a cytoskeleton.
Large central vacuoles of plant cells provide support by?
They are filled with water and that will give added support.
These cells provide physical support nurshment and electrical insulation for olfatory receptors cells?
These cells are called sustentacular cells or supporting cells. They surround and support the olfactory receptor cells in the olfactory epithelium. They provide physical support, nourishment, and electrical insulation to the olfactory receptor cells, helping to maintain their function.
What are accessory cells within nervous tissue that provide support to the neurons?
Glial cells, sometimes called neuroglia or simply glia are non-neuronal cells that maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and provide support and protection for the brain's neurons.
