Cytoskeleton is made up of microtubules and
Filaments
38
What is the function of the cytoskeleton?
Cell shape, mechanical strength for protection, movement within the cell and cell division
39
What are the 3 protein filaments?
Microfilaments e.g actin Microtubules e.g. Tubulin Intermediate filaments. E,g cytokeratin
