What else can I help you with?
What maintains the cell shape anchors the organelles in place and moves organelles of the cell?
Cytoskeleton
What cytoskeleton structure is responsible for cellular tensile strength?
The intermediate filaments provide mechanical strength to the cell and help maintain cell shape. They form a network that gives structural support and helps anchor organelles in place within the cell.
What best describes the term Z line?
The Z-line is a structure found in striated muscle cells that marks the boundary between sarcomeres, which are the basic contractile units of muscle. It anchors the thin filaments in place and plays a critical role in muscle contraction by organizing the sarcomeres.
What part of a cell holds organelles in place?
Organelle is a sub-unit within a cell that performs a specific function and usually has it's own lipid bilayer(membrane). Examples of organelles -chloroplast, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, nucleus.
Scaffolding-like structure in the cytoplasm which helps the cell keep its shape is the?
The cytoskeleton helps a cell keep its shape. The internal movement of organelles, as well as cell locomotion and muscle fiber contraction couldn't take place without it.

What membrane structural component is involved when intermediate filaments of the cytoskeleton are anchored in place?
hyptonic , glycoprotiens.
What maintains the cell shape anchors the organelles in place and moves organelles of the cell?
Cytoskeleton
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 is the function of Intermediate filament?
Intermediate Filaments (IFs) are part of a cells cytoskeleton along with Microfilaments and Microtubules. Intermediate Filaments are intermediate in size compared to MFs and MTs. They are also more durable and stable than the others. They are mainly used in cellular adhesion and other specialized functions in cells.
What functions are provided by the intermediate filaments and microfilaments?
Anchoring organelles in place, shape To help anchor 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.
What best describes the term Z line?

What helps hold the nucleus in a place in a cell?
cytoskeleton :)
What part of a cell holds organelles in place?

What is the function of the cytoskeleton in an animal cell?
The cytoskeleton in an animal cell provides structural support and helps maintain cell shape. It also facilitates cell movement, intracellular transport of organelles, and cell division. Additionally, the cytoskeleton is involved in cell signaling and the response to external stimuli.
What holds structures in place in a cell?
The cytoskeleton, composed of proteins like actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments, provides structural support and helps maintain the shape of a cell. Junctions like desmosomes and tight junctions also hold neighboring cells together in tissues. Additionally, extracellular matrix components like collagen and fibronectin provide structural support and anchorage for cells.
