Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The cytoskeleton is important because
A
It gives the cell its shape
B
It strengthens the cells
C
It helps the cells move and divide
D
All of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cytoskeleton provides a structural framework for the cell, serving as a scaffold that determines cell shape and the general organization of the cytoplasm. In addition to playing this structural role, the cytoskeleton is responsible for cell movements.

Detailed explanation-2: -The fundamental functions of the cytoskeleton are involved in modulating the shape of the cell, providing mechanical strength and integrity, enabling the movement of cells and facilitating the intracellular transport of supramolecular structures, vesicles and even organelles.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cytoskeleton is a structure maintaining the shape and internal organization of the cell, thereby rendering mechanical support.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cytoskeletal structures play important roles in cell division, cell polarity, cell shape regulation, plasmid partition, and other functions. The proteins self-assemble into filamentous structures in vitro and form intracellular ordered structures in vivo.
