what is the cytoskeleton made of and its function in the cell.

1. Cytoskeleton
By
NABA’A AL WAZEN

2. OIt is a structure that helps cells maintain
their shape and internal organization, and it
also provides mechanical support that
enables cells to carry out essential functions
like division and movement.
OThere is no single cytoskeletal component.
Rather, several different components work
together to form the cytoskeleton.

3. OA cytoskeleton is present in all cells of all
domains of life (archaea, bacteria, eukaryotes).
O It is a complex network of interlinking filaments
and tubules that extend throughout the
cytoplasm, from the nucleus to the plasma
membrane.
OThe cytoskeletal systems of different organisms
are composed of similar proteins.

5. What Is the Cytoskeleton Made
Of?

6. Microtubules are the largest type of filament, with a
diameter of about 25 nanometers (nm), and they are
composed of a protein called tubulin.

7. Actin filaments are the smallest type,
with a diameter of only about 6 nm, and
they are made of a protein called actin.

8. are mid-sized, with a diameter of about 10 nm.
intermediate filaments are constructed from a
number of different subunit proteins.
