What part of the cell keeps the cell membrain from collapsing?

The cell wall in plant cells and the cytoskeleton in animal cells provide structural support to prevent the cell membrane from collapsing. The cell wall is made of cellulose in plants and provides rigidity, while the cytoskeleton is a network of protein filaments that helps maintain cell shape and structural integrity.


Where in a plant cell is the intermediate filament found?

What are functions of the cytoskeleton in plant cells?

The cytoskeleton in plant cells provides structural support, maintains cell shape, and enables cell movement. It is also involved in cell division, intracellular transport, and organelle positioning. Additionally, the cytoskeleton helps in communication between cells and responds to environmental stimuli.


What is the function of structure of a cell?

Animal cells have cytoskeleton for their structure. Plant cells have cell walls. The function of the cell wall or cytoskeleton is to keep the cell in its shape and to keep it from squishing.


What cell support and protects?

Plant cells have a cell wall to support and protect them. They also have a cytoskeleton. Animal cells only have the cytoskeleton since they do not have a cell wall.
