What are thin hreadlike structures found within the cytoplasm of a cell?
The cytoskeleton.
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.
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.
Where Cell organelles are located in?
within the cytoplasm
What material is within the cell membraine that is not part of the nucleus?
Protoplasm/Cytoplasm Ribosomes Mitochondria
Why was the cytoskeleton within the cytoplasm a recent discovery?
cell biologists have discovered that organelles do not float freely in a cell, but are supported by a structure within the cytoplasm.
Where is the cytoskeleton found?
within a cells cytoplasm
Cellular framework found within the cytoplasm?
Cytoskeleton
What are the micro tubules found within the cytoplasm?
cytoskeleton
What are thin hreadlike structures found within the cytoplasm of a cell?
The cytoskeleton.
Cells have a support structure within the cytoplasm called the cytoplasm true or false?
true or false? cells have support structure within the cytoplasm called the cytoskeleton
Scientists discovered 200 years ago that cells have a support structure called the cytoskeleton?
true or false? cells have support structure within the cytoplasm called the cytoskeleton
Structure of cytoskeleton?
within cytoplasm often suspended in a system of microscopic fibers
A cellular framework found within the cytoplasm and composed of microtubiles and microfilaments?
Cytoskeleton
What is cytoskelton?
A cytoskeleton is the structure or skeleton of a cell. A cytoskeleton is found within a cell's cytoplasm, and is present in all cells, prokaryotic and eukaryotic.
What does the cyptoplasm do?
Cytoplasm functions as a "molecular soup" that holds together all of the cell's organelles, and divides the organelles within the cell. Cytoplasm is thought to be the "home"of the cytoskeleton; the cytoskeleton provides movement of the cell as well as its shape through the "cytoplasmic streaming", when the cytoskeleton moves to push the cell membrane it is then when the cytoplasm moves and fills the empty space. Proteins that occur in the cytoskeleton help to keep the shape of the cell, for the proteins are known to be used for "intracellular support". Also,cytoplasm contains nutrients that have been dissolved and it help for the dissolving of the waste products. Within the cytoplasm there are also "microtubules" which function as cell dividers, they are known for "temporary scaffolding"-for the other organelles.Actin Filaments are also rfound in cytoplasm and they also contribute to cell division as well as cell motility. Furthermore, the cytoplasm is composed of components that benefit the cell and keep the organelles separate from one another. hows that?
What do cytoplasm do in a cell?
The cytoplasm, besides being the environment in which all intracellular processes take place, also organizes the distribution of metabolites and other molecules within the cell. The cytoplasm used to be thought of as a jumbled soup of ions, metabolites and biomolecules, but we now know that the cytoplasm has structural molecules within it that form the cytoskeleton and help the maintain its shape. The cytoskeleton also acts as a monorail system by providing tracks for the movement of molecules throughout the cell, as well as helping to divide the cell during mitosis.
