What supports all cell organelles?
cyto squelettonit is what gives the cell its shape and what maintain organellesit is formed of microfilaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments
What would happen to a cell if its membrane started to break down?
The organelles would spill everywhere and it would die
What are the tiny strands called that are in a cell?
Microfilaments
Which cell structure forms an internal framework inside the cell and is made of microtubules intermediate filaments and microfilaments?
Cellular framework found within the cytoplasm composed of microtubules and microfilaments is cytoskeleton. Cytoplasm is clear, gelatinous fluid in cells that is the site of numerous chemical reactions; in eukaryotic cells, it suspends the cell's organelles.
What are the cytoskeleton fibers used to move whole cells around?
Microfilaments
What do microfilaments provide within a cell?
Anchoring of organelles AND Shape
What three organelles enable eukaryote to move?
Flagella, Cilia. and Microtubules / Microfilaments
What is the role of microfilaments incell division?
Microfilaments and microtubules that make up the cytoskeleton in the cell move/push the chromosomes and organelles into place for the various phases of cell division. (in metaphase, for example, they are moved to the metaphase plate (the center of the cell)) The organelles don't just randomly think "I think I'll move now." So I guess that would be the main role of microfilaments in cell division. :-)
what is the role of microfilaments?
Microfilaments assist with cell movement and are made of a protein called actin. Actin works with another protein called myosin to produce muscle movements, cell division, and cytoplasmic streaming. Microfilaments keep organelles in place within the cell.
What would happen if cytoskeleton didn't have organelles?
it would explode
What are microfilaments responsible for?
Microfilaments assist with cell movement and also works with another protein called myosin to produce muscle movements, cell division, and cytoplasmic streaming. They also help to hold organelles in place.
What maintains the cell shape anchors the organelles in place and move organelles of the cells?
The cytoskeleton of the cell, made of microtubules to move organelles, microfilaments to contract the cell, especially during cell division, and intermediate filaments to provide support and anchor the organelles, does all of these things.

Flagella, Cilia. and Microtubules / Microfilaments
What functions are provided by the intermediate filaments and microfilaments?
Anchoring organelles in place, shape To help anchor organelles in place
What is the cytoskeleton and what are the two of its major components?
The cytoskeleton is a network of filamentous proteins that holds the organelles in place and maintains the shape of a cell. It is composed of microtubules (composed of the protein tubulin), intermediate fibers, and microfilaments.
What would happen to a cell if its membrane started to break down?
The organelles would spill everywhere and it would die
