What maintains the cell shape anchors the organelles in place and moves organelles of the cell?
Cytoskeleton
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.
plants are anchored and held in place in the ground by what?
Roots
Name the organelle in which photosynthesis occurs?
The organelle in which photosynthesis takes place is the chloroplast.Chloroplast is the photosynthesizing organelle in eukaiyotes. In prokariyotes,it takes place in photosynthetic filaments
Which organelle in a cell is responsible for the growth of a cell?
Your typical cell is going to be classified as eukaryotic. This means it will have the usual innards you may have learned about in biology such as the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and lots of busy little organelles. However, in your typical cell it is not organelles that are responsible for maintaining cell shape. Rather, it is a material called the cytoskeleton which is made up of protein filaments. The cytoskeleton is made of actin filaments (or microfilaments), microtubules and intermediate filaments. In a nerve cell, they're called neurofibrils. A nerve cell also has what is known as Nissl substance which, in a textbook picture, is going to look very much like lots of little organelles just taking up the 'empty' space, but they are not classified as organelles. Nerve cells are what I'm focusing on in med school right now so I'm not positive if other kinds of cells have their own equivalent of the Nissl substance perhaps by a different name. Either way, most of the cells you will be talking about have the abovementioned cytoskeleton at least.
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 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 helps hold the nucleus in a place in a cell?
cytoskeleton :)
What is the function of the cytoskeleton in an animal cell?
Cytoskeleton includes three different parts with different functions 1 : Micro-filaments provide support and maintain shape and also help in cytokinesis .2 : Micro-tubules help in mitosis and formation of centrioles , cillia flagella .3 : Intermediate filaments maintain cell shape .
What part of a cell holds organelles in place?

What helps hold the nucleus in place?
cytoskeleton
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!
What makes up myofibrils?
Thin filaments consist primarily of the protein actin, coiled with nebulin filaments. Thick filaments consist primarily of the protein myosin, held in place by tit in filaments.
What helps hold the nucleus in place in the cell?
cytoskeleton
