What Functions Do Microfilaments Serve?

Microfilaments are involved in multiple cellular functions:
Cell Shape and Structure: They help maintain the cell’s shape and provide mechanical support.
Cell Motility: They are essential for cellular movements such as amoeboid movement, cilia and flagella function, and muscle contraction.
Intracellular Transport: Microfilaments are involved in the transport of organelles, vesicles, and other cellular materials.
Cell Division: They play a key role in cytokinesis during cell division.
