The cytoskeleton is composed of Actin filaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments.
Actin is essential in resistance to and distribution of physical stresses and for movement in some cells such as immune cells. It is also important for orientation in cells such as columnar epithelial cells.
Microtubules are used to transport materials and organelles around the cell. Microtubules are also essential in the separation of sister chromatids during anaphase in cells that undergo open-nucleaus cell division.
Intermediate filaments are more complex in structure than Actin and MTs and far more varied than but are still dynamic. IFs are important in the interactions between cells to make up tissues and organs. Because of their varied functions they are divided into classes (Types I to V). Really its better to read a review if you want to know about IFs because they're far more complicated than the others.

What are the two parts of the cell that a cell can use for moving and are made by the cytoskeleton?
Two parts of the cell that can be used for movement and are made by the cytoskeleton are cilia and flagella.
What helps hold the nucleus in a place in a cell?
cytoskeleton :)
What maintains cell shape with a network of protein filamentsd?
The cytoskeleton maintains the cell shape with a network of protein filaments. The cytoskeleton also protects and helps with movement of cell.
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.
Is the Cytoskeleton in both plant and animal cells?
Cytoskeleton is found in BOTH animal and plant cells.
What are the jobs of the cytoskeleton does?
It determines the shape of the cell.
What are the two parts of the cell that a cell can use for moving and are made by the cytoskeleton?
Two parts of the cell that can be used for movement and are made by the cytoskeleton are cilia and flagella.
What are two functions of a cytoskeleton in a animal?
The functions of the cytoskeleton used in an animal cell, is for the movement of the animal and so that objects within the cell can move.
What are two cell APPENDAGE that help cells move?
a cytoskeleton
What are two jobs of the cycoskeleton?
The cytoskeleton provides structural support to the cell, maintaining its shape and enabling it to withstand mechanical stress. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in intracellular transport by serving as a network of filaments and tubules through which organelles and vesicles can move. The cytoskeleton is also involved in cell division, helping to segregate chromosomes during mitosis.
What helps hold the nucleus in a place in a cell?
cytoskeleton :)
Do protozoas have a cytoskeleton?
Yes , they have cytoskeleton .
Name and describe the two types of structures that make up the cytoskeleton?
two types of structures that make up the cytoskeleton is microfilaments and intermediate filaments. microfilaments are thinnest elements of the cytoskeleton, and intermediate filaments are thicker than microfilament but thinner then microtubules.
What part of speech is cytoskeleton?
Cytoskeleton is a noun.

Cytoskeleton is in eukariyotes.It is spreaded through out cytoplasm.
What does e cytoskeleton do?
the cytoskeleton gives shape and strength to the cell
