3 major protein filaments that form the cytoskeleton

A

Actin filaments
- Determining the shape of cell’s surface
- Necessary for whole-cell locomotion
- Driving the pinching of one cell into two (L33)
Microtubule
- Determining the positions of membraneenclosed organelles
- Directing intracellular transport
- Forming the mitotic spindle during cell division
(L33)
Intermediate filaments
- Providing mechanical strength
