cytoskeleton


Which organelle provides elasticity to the cell?

Usually, cytoskeleton would be this "organelle"(cytoskeleton is more like just a protein network across the cell). Also, intercellular junctions and vacuoles(in plants) play a role.


What is a good analogy for cytoskeleton?

Recently complex networks of fibrous protein structures have been shown to exist in the cytosol of eukaryotic cells. These network collectively form cytoskeleton which contains protein fibres . These fibrous proteins helps in cellular movement that is amoeboid movement and cyclosis.

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.


What is a cell's internal supporting framework?

The cytoskeleton is the structural framework in a cell ("cyto" refers to cell and "skeleton" refers to a structural framework).


Are microtubules an organelle?

Microtubules are cyclindrical shaped polymers that help maintain and stabilize cell structure. They also have a major role in the transportation of molecules within the cell. They are part of the cytoskeleton, and the cytoskeleton is considered to be an organelle. The microtubules are only a fraction of an organelle under the cytoskeleton.
