No. It is attached to the plasma membrane though, which is important. The cytoskeleton gives cells shape and rigidity etc and so it is important for it to be attached to the plasma membrane. The cytoskeleton is composed of molecules that are located in the cytoplasm but that are attached to the plasma membrane via specific proteins. Hope that helps!

There are many characteristics of a cell. These include the plasma membrane, chromosomes, ribosomes, cytoskeleton, as well as the cytoplasm.


What two structures surround cells?

The two structures that surround the prokaryotic cell are the cell membrane or plasma membrane and the cytoskeleton. All prokaryotic cells contain these.


Do proteins at the inner surface of the plasma membrane attach to the membrane to the cells support the structure?

Yes, proteins at the inner surface of the plasma membrane can attach to the cytoskeleton of the cell, providing support and helping to maintain the structure of the membrane. These membrane-associated proteins interact with the cytoskeleton to anchor the membrane in place and facilitate cell shape and movement.


Is it true that proteins at the inner surface of the plasma membrane attach the membrane to the cell's support structure making the cell rigid?

Your question is unclear, but a cell is supported by the cytoskeleton.


What is the substance that fills the cell from the plasma membrane to the nuclear membrane?

The semifluid substance that fills a cell is cytoplasm.


What give cells their shape?

Cells are given their shape by a supporting structure called the cytoskeleton, which is made up of protein filaments. The cytoskeleton helps maintain the cell's shape, provide structural support, and allows for cell movement and division. Additionally, the plasma membrane surrounding the cell also plays a role in defining the cell's shape.


Discuss the similarity of animal and plant cells?

Animal cells have a cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes, plasma membrane, cytoskeleton, nucleus, nucleolus, and an endomembrane system, and so do plant cells.


What does both a plant cell and an animal cell have?

There are many organelles. Some are nucleus,plasma membrane,golgi,ER,LYSOSOMES, CYTOSKELETON,MITOCHONDRIA ETC


Do a plasma membrane maintain cell shape?

Yes, the plasma membrane helps maintain cell shape by providing structural support and defining the boundaries of the cell. It also regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell, which helps maintain the cell's internal environment and overall shape.
