What else can I help you with?
What protein fiber that forms the cell supporting network?
The meshlike network of protein fibers that supports the shape of the cell is either cellulose (cell wall) or the cytoskeleton (inside).
What is a network of protein fillaments that helps the cell maintain its shape?
The network of protein filaments that helps the cell maintain its shape is called the cytoskeleton. It is made up of three types of filaments: microfilaments (actin), intermediate filaments, and microtubules. The cytoskeleton provides structural support, helps in cell movement, and is involved in intracellular transport.
What part of the cell keeps the cell membrain from collapsing?
The cell wall in plant cells and the cytoskeleton in animal cells provide structural support to prevent the cell membrane from collapsing. The cell wall is made of cellulose in plants and provides rigidity, while the cytoskeleton is a network of protein filaments that helps maintain cell shape and structural integrity.
What is a good analogy for cytoskeleton?
A good analogy for the cytoskeleton is the framework of a building. Just like how a building's framework provides support and structure to the building, the cytoskeleton provides support and structure to cells, helping them maintain their shape and carry out their functions.
The system of microscopic protein fibers that supports the shape of the cell is called?
All cells, except those of most bacteria, contain components of the cytoskeleton. They help the cell remain rigid but also help it move and change its shape when instructed to do so. Components of the cytoskeleton also enable cilia, flagella and sperm to move, cell organelles to be moved and positioned, and muscles to function. During cell division these components also assist by pulling the daughter chromosomes to opposite ‘poles’ in the dividing process. Throughout the life of the cell various molecules and cargo containing vesicles are transported around the cell by motor proteins. These move along the protein filaments using them as rail road tracts rather like a railway locomotive runs on.
How is a cytoskeleton like a muscle?
A cytoskeleton is like our muscles in a way that like the intermediate filaments in a cytoskeleton they give us our strength.
Our bones and muscles are comparable to a cell's what?
Our bones and muscles are comparable to a cell's cytoskeleton and organelles. The cytoskeleton provides structural support and shape to the cell, similar to how bones give structure to the body. Meanwhile, organelles, like mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, function like muscles, facilitating movement and metabolic processes essential for the cell's activities. Together, they ensure the cell's integrity and functionality, much like bones and muscles do for the organism.
How is your cytoskeleton like your skeleton?
A cytoskeleton is like our skeleton in a way that it supports our bodies, as well as it molds it.
What is a cytoskeleton like?
A cytoskeleton is a microscopic network of filaments int he cytoplasm of a cell. This cytoskeleton helps give the cell shape.
What component of a cell functions like the digestive system in the human body?
The cytoskeleton.
What does cytoskeleton look like?
in my d
Is the cytoskeleton like skin?
yes
What is a car analogy for a cytoskeleton?
In the car analogy for cells, the cytoskeleton would be the steel framework. The cytoskeleton supports the cell like the steel framework supports the car.
What is an analogy for the cytoskeleton?
The cytoskeleton is like play dough mold because it keeps the play dough in shape.
Is a cytoskeleton like your skeleton how?
it enables you to move
How is a cytoskeleton like skeleton?
it enables you to move
What do bacteria have in place of an internal supporting skeleton?
They have a cytoskeleton which is much like the eukaryotic cytoskeleton just harder to see!
