    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.
