∙ 9y agoThe structure that contributes to support and movement within a cell is known as the cytoskeleton. It contains intermediate filaments and micro tubules which perform these functions.

What assembly and disassembly is responsible for the cytoplasmic movement that allow cells such amoebas to crawl along surfaces?
Microfilament
What cell appendages are responsible for external movement?
Cells have two different kinds of appendages that are used for mobility. They have flagella and cilia. Both are used for movement.
What are threadlike structures that provide support and shape for cells?
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.
What are motile processes?
cilia; they appear like short hairs under a microscope. Cilia can be found on prokaryotic cells or eukaryotic cells. They can be found on unicellular organisms where they are most likely responsible for movement. In multicellular organisms, they are most often found where the cells need to produce movement for function of the organ system or protection.
What are the six functions of the skeleton?
The six functions of the skeleton are support, movement, protection, production of blood cells, storage of minerals and endocrine regulation. Support for the body and internal functions. Movement in day to day activities. It protects internal organs etc.
What is responsible for support structure and movement in cells?
cytoskeleton
What is responsible for support structure and movement and cells?
cytoskeleton
Cells responsible for body movement are?
neurons
What kind of cells are responsible for movement in animals?
Striped muscular cells with sacromeres and motor neurons.
In plant cells what is responsible for cell support?
pooop dawg
What is the skeletals main function?
Support, protection, movement, shape, and red blood cells
What structure in cells is responsible for movement?
On the outer surface of the cell, there are finger like projections called Cilia. Filaments in Cilia propel the cells movement by using ATP as energy source. Ciliated based movement is common and prokaryote.
What assembly and disassembly is responsible for the cytoplasmic movement that allow cells such amoebas to crawl along surfaces?
Microfilament
What cell appendages are responsible for external movement?
Cells have two different kinds of appendages that are used for mobility. They have flagella and cilia. Both are used for movement.
What nervous system cells do not transmit impulses?
Glial cells as they are responsible for providing support to the neuron, nourishing, and making sure homeostasis is maintained, thus they do not transmit impulses.
What is the purpose of muscle cells?
The purpose of the muscle cell is movement, support, help the heart pump and to heart and warmth\ by H.L
What are the 4 functions of the skeleton system?
support, production of red blood cells, storage of nutrients, and leverage for muscle movement
