Study Notes
- The cytoskeleton provides support and organization to cells.
- It has active mechanical forces such as polymerization, tension, and contraction.
- The cytoskeleton is responsible for cell movement, division, and morphology.
- It is made up of polymers of polypeptides with non-covalent bonds.
- The majority of the dynamic activity happens at the ends of the filaments.
- There are three types of filaments in the cell: actin microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments.
- Microfilaments are made of actin and are approximately 8nm in size.
- Microtubules are made of tubulin and are approximately 25nm in size.
- Intermediate filaments are approximately 10nm in size.
- The cytoskeleton is essential for cell function and plays a role in various cellular processes.
