The cytoskeleton is composed of Actin filaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments.
Actin is essential in resistance to and distribution of physical stresses and for movement in some cells such as immune cells. It is also important for orientation in cells such as columnar epithelial cells.
Microtubules are used to transport materials and organelles around the cell. Microtubules are also essential in the separation of sister chromatids during anaphase in cells that undergo open-nucleaus cell division.
Intermediate filaments are more complex in structure than Actin and MTs and far more varied than but are still dynamic. IFs are important in the interactions between cells to make up tissues and organs. Because of their varied functions they are divided into classes (Types I to V). Really its better to read a review if you want to know about IFs because they're far more complicated than the others.

What are the two parts of the cell that a cell can use for moving and are made by the cytoskeleton?
Two parts of the cell that can be used for movement and are made by the cytoskeleton are cilia and flagella.
What helps hold the nucleus in a place in a cell?
cytoskeleton :)
What part of the cytoskeleton is responsible for cell movement?
Cytoskeleton.
In a eukaryotic cell a network of protein filaments called what help maintain the shape of cell?
A network of protein filaments is called a cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton helps cells to maintain their shape as well as support and movement.
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.
What are the jobs of the cytoskeleton does?
It determines the shape of the cell.
Name and describe the two types of structures that make up the cytoskeleton?
two types of structures that make up the cytoskeleton is microfilaments and intermediate filaments. microfilaments are thinnest elements of the cytoskeleton, and intermediate filaments are thicker than microfilament but thinner then microtubules.
What are two major components of the cytoskeleton?

What is a network of protein fillaments that helps the cell maintain its shape?
the cytoskeleton
What are two functions of a cytoskeleton in a animal?
The functions of the cytoskeleton used in an animal cell, is for the movement of the animal and so that objects within the cell can move.
What are two cell APPENDAGE that help cells move?
a cytoskeleton
What organelle has two subparts?
The Cytoskeleton provides support for the cell, and has two "sub-parts."
What helps hold the nucleus in a place in a cell?
cytoskeleton :)
What part of the cell keeps the cell membrain from collapsing?
The cytoskeleton keeps the membrane from collapsing. A cytoskeleton is a skeleton and a muscle. The cytoskeleton function in a plant and animals.
Do protozoas have a cytoskeleton?
Yes , they have cytoskeleton .
What part of speech is cytoskeleton?
Cytoskeleton is a noun.
