Question
- what is the function of the cytoskeleton in a cell? a) to control cell division b) to provide shape and structure to the cell c) to transport nutrients d) to store genetic material
Brief Explanations
The cytoskeleton is a network of protein filaments in the cell. It provides mechanical support, maintaining the cell's shape and structure. It is not responsible for controlling cell - division (which is regulated by genetic and other molecular mechanisms), transporting nutrients (which is mainly done by membrane - bound transporters and vesicles), or storing genetic material (which is the function of the nucleus).
