Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cytoskeleton is basically
A
Nucleoprotein filaments
B
Lipids
C
Protein filaments
D
Ribonucleoprotein filaments
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cytoplasm of eucaryotic cells is spatially organized by a network of protein filaments known as the cytoskeleton. This network contains three principal types of filaments: microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cytoskeleton has three different types of protein elements. From narrowest to widest, they are the microfilaments (actin filaments), intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Microfilaments are often associated with myosin. They provide rigidity and shape to the cell and facilitate cellular movements.

Detailed explanation-3: -Three major types of filaments make up the cytoskeleton: actin filaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments.
