The cytoplasm of eukaryote cells is spatially organized
- achieved by a network of 3 different types of protein filaments
1._________________
2.__________________
3.__________________
This network is collectively known as
the ______________.
i) Microtubules (thick)
ii) Actin filaments or
microfilaments (thin)
iii) Intermediate filaments
- cytoskeleton
Functions of the cytoskeleton:
-gives shape and support to ____
-(especially in _______- no cell wall and not all cells attach to the ECM)
-allows cells to change ______
(by disassembling in one part of the cell and reassembling in another part)
-can act as a system of ________throughout the cell
-________ may attach to the cables, and some move along them
- cells
- animal cells
-shape
-“cables”
-organelles
- Microtubules
-straight, _______tubes
- walls of the tube are constructed with ________
-hollow
-proteins called tublins
- Microtubules
- Microtubules

Metabolism and Energy
Cells are mini chemical factories - they perform thousands of reactions
The totality of an organism’s chemical reactions, managing the materials and
energy resources of the cell is termed ________
- metabolism.
