Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The cell’s cytoskeleton is important for
A
cellular shape
B
organelle organization
C
movement such as amoeboid
D
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cytoskeleton is responsible for contraction, cell motility, movement of organelles and vesicles through the cytoplasm, cytokinesis, establishment of the intracellular organization of the cytoplasm, establishment of cell polarity, and many other functions that are essential for cellular homeostasis and survival.

Detailed explanation-2: -Three main components of the cytoskeleton include actin filaments (also called microfilaments), microtubules and intermediate filaments. They are distinct structural compositions that exhibit slightly different yet interdependent functions.

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

Detailed explanation-4: -A main component in the cytoskeleton that helps show the true function of this muscle contraction is the microfilament. Microfilaments are composed of the most abundant cellular protein known as actin.
