What are the types of filaments found in eukaryotes?

The types of filaments found in eukaryotic cells are actin filaments (microfilaments), intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Actin filaments are involved in cell movement and structure, intermediate filaments provide mechanical support to the cell, and microtubules are important for cell division and intracellular transport.

What is the most stable microtubules microfilaments or intermediate filaments?

Intermediate filaments are generally considered the most stable among the three cytoskeletal elements (microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments). They are more resistant to changes in cell structure and provide structural support and stability to the cell.


Name the structure which provide rigidity in an animal cell?

The cytoskeleton is the structure that provides rigidity in an animal cell. It is made up of protein filaments such as actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments, which help maintain cell shape and provide structural support.


What are cytoskeleton filaments?

Cytoskeleton filaments are protein fibers within cells that provide structure, support, and facilitate cell movement. They include microfilaments (actin filaments), microtubules, and intermediate filaments. These filaments help with cell division, cell shape maintenance, and cell signaling.
