Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle helps with structure and cell division?
A
Cytoskeleton
B
Cell Membrane
C
Nucleus
D
Lysosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Centrioles: Centrioles are barrel-shaped organelles located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope. Centriole pairs or centrosomes are involved in the formation of spindle fibers. These spindle fibers are very important for cell division.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cytoskeleton of a cell is made up of microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments. These structures give the cell its shape and help organize the cell’s parts. In addition, they provide a basis for movement and cell division.

Detailed explanation-3: -Centrioles. Centrioles are organelles involved in cell division. The function of centrioles is to help organize the chromosomes before cell division occurs so that each daughter cell has the correct number of chromosomes after the cell divides.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cytoskeleton is involved in intercellular communication in this way. Thus from the above discussion, it can be concluded that the cytoskeleton is not an organelle. Note:-Microfilaments (actin filaments), intermediate filaments, and microtubules are the three types of cytoskeletal filaments found in eukaryotes.

Detailed explanation-5: -The cytoskeleton organizes other constituents of the cell, maintains the cell’s shape, and is responsible for the locomotion of the cell itself and the movement of the various organelles within it.
