No. It is attached to the plasma membrane though, which is important. The cytoskeleton gives cells shape and rigidity etc and so it is important for it to be attached to the plasma membrane. The cytoskeleton is composed of molecules that are located in the cytoplasm but that are attached to the plasma membrane via specific proteins. Hope that helps!
Integral proteins - proteins which span the width of the membrane. This can be things such as channels and pumps.
Yes, as the plasma membrane acts as a base for the cytoskeleton of the cell. (Which helps to maintain the shape of the cell.)
cytoskeleton :)
The cell membrane surrounds the protoplasm of a cell and separates the intracellular components from the extracellular environment. The cell membrane also helps in anchoring the cytoskeleton to provide shape to the cell, and in attaching to the extracellular matrix and other cells to help group cells together to form tissues.
The cytoskeleton provides structural support and helps filter and facilitate the movement of materials into and out of the cell.

the cytoskeleton
A cell membrane is a selectivley permeable membrane. This means that it only lets specific materials get in and out of the cell. The cell membrane helps to let only needed materials into the cell and to get unneeded materials out of the cell. (food goes in waste comes out.)
how cell membrane helps in maintaining equilibrium while exchanging mateials with environment
The cell membrane controls the movement of materials in and out of the nucleus. This helps to support and homeostasis.

A cytoskeleton is a microscopic network of filaments int he cytoplasm of a cell. This cytoskeleton helps give the cell shape.
The cytoskeleton is a web of proteins inside the cell. It acts as both a skeleton and a muscle. The cytoskeleton helps the cell keep its shape. It also helps some cells, such as bacteria, to move. also has Micropcentronlompobical acids in the cells protein ring.
