CYTOSKELETON

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
There are three types of cytoskeleton ____ Micro-filament, Microtubules and Intermediate-Filament
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Three major types of filaments make up the cytoskeleton: actin filaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments.

Detailed explanation-3: -The answer is option (4) The dynamic aspect of cytoskeletal function is made possible by the assembly and disassembly of a large number of complex proteins into larger aggregates. There are three types of the cytoskeleton: actin filaments (microfilament), microtubules, and intermediate filaments.

Detailed explanation-4: -Microtubules, along with microfilaments and intermediate filaments, come under the class of organelles known as the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is the framework of the cell which forms the structural supporting component. Microtubules are the largest element of the cytoskeleton.
