cytoskeleton

QuestionAnswer
what is the cytoskeleton? interlinking network of filaments within the cell that supports its structure and function
microfilaments thinnest filaments of the cell that are made from actin proteins assembled in an ATP dependent process
function of microfilaments provides structural support, muscle contraction, cell motility, and cell shape (microvilli)
motor protein (microfilaments) interacts with the motor protein myosin
intermediate filaments cable like structures that provide structural support for the cell, holds organelles in place, are not dynamic, and are made of a variety of proteins such as keratin and lamin
microtubules the largest filaments; they are hollow tubes built from repeating units of tubulin assembled in a GTP dependent process
function of microtubules aid the movement of vesicles, organelles, and chromosomes throughout the cell; for the inner framework of cilia and flagella
motor proteins (microtubules) interacts with the motor proteins kinesin and dynein
centrosomes microtubule-organizing center of the cell consisting of a pair of centrioles each compossed of nine triplets of microtubules
