| Organelle | carry out functions for a cell |
| Cytoskeleton | network of thin tubes and filaments that crisscrosses the cytosol |
| Microtubule | hollow tubes made of a protein called tubulin |
| Microfilament | long threads of the beadlike protein are linked end to end and wrapped around each other like two strands of rope |
