How Does the Cytoskeleton Contribute to Cytoplasmic Features?
The cytoskeleton is a network of fibers that provides structural support to the cell. It includes:
Microfilaments: Composed of actin, they are involved in cell movement and shape maintenance. Intermediate Filaments: These provide mechanical strength to cells and help maintain their integrity. Microtubules: Made of tubulin, they are involved in intracellular transport and cell division.
