Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which part of the cell is made up of a network of filaments that maintains the cell structure?
A
Cytoplasm
B
Endoplasmic reticulum
C
Cytoskeleton
D
Vacuoles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cytoskeleton is a complex, dynamic network of interlinking protein filaments present in the cytoplasm of all cells, including those of bacteria and archaea. In eukaryotes, it extends from the cell nucleus to the cell membrane and is composed of similar proteins in the various organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cytoskeleton is the network of cytoplasmic protein filaments, composed of microtubules (MTs), actin filaments, and intermediate filaments, that provides an internal scaffold to give the cell shape.

Detailed explanation-3: -cytoskeleton, a system of filaments or fibres that is present in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells (cells containing a nucleus).

Detailed explanation-4: -The cytoskeleton is an important, complex, and dynamic cell component. It acts to organize and maintain the cell’s shape; anchors organelles in place; helps during endocytosis (the uptake of external materials by a cell); and moves parts of the cell in processes of growth and motility.
