Is cytoskeleton in a animal cell?

Cytoskeletons are located inside of a cell. They give the cell shape and sometimes allow unicellar organisms to move. They do this by stretching their cytoskeletons.


Is cytoplasm and cytoskeleton the same thing?

No. The cytoplasm is the semi-fluid substance that fills the space between the nucleus and the cell membrane. It holds all of the organelles in suspension. The cytoskeleton is what holds the organelles in place, or moves them. It gives the cell its shape and structure. It also aids in the movement of the cell. Think of it like an orange: The white stuff would be the cytoskeleton giving an orange its circular shape, while the juice is the cytoplasm. (In reality the cytoskeleton is much less obvious in a cell and the cytoplasm is much more viscous than orange juice)


Is the Cytoskeleton the same as Cytoplasm?

No, the cytoplasm is the cell contents between the membrane and the nucleus; organelles and liquid. The cytoskeleton is a frame work and also an internal highway of the cell that is made of microtubules.


What is the function and location of the cytoskeleton?

The cytoskeleton is a network of protein filaments that provides structural support and helps maintain cell shape. It also plays a role in cell motility, intracellular transport, and cell division. The cytoskeleton is located throughout the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.


How are the function of the cytoskeleton and the wall similar?

The cytoskeleton is responsible for the shape of the cell. The cell wall is similar. in that it is also responsible for the shape of a cell in the cytoskeleton.
