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.
Two parts of the cell that can be used for movement and are made by the cytoskeleton are cilia and flagella.
cytoskeleton :)
The cytoskeleton maintains the cell shape with a network of protein filaments. The cytoskeleton also protects and helps with movement of cell.
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.
Cytoskeleton is found in BOTH animal and plant cells.
It determines the shape of the cell.
Two parts of the cell that can be used for movement and are made by the cytoskeleton are cilia and flagella.
a cytoskeleton
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.
cytoskeleton :)
Yes , they have 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.
Cytoskeleton is a noun.
what parts does a cytoskeleton have?
Cytoskeleton is in eukariyotes.It is spreaded through out cytoplasm.
Cytoskeleton - journal - was created in 1980.
the cytoskeleton gives shape and strength to the cell
