1
Q
what is the cytoskeleton
A
protein threads (microtubule and microfilaments) in the cytoplasm involved in coordination organelles etc
2
Q
cytoskeleton roles
A
cellular movement
- cilia and flagella are moved by microtubules
intracellular movement
- microtubules form tracks which allow movement of vesicles within cell
strength and support
- scaffolding keeping cells shape
