A network of protein fibers that provides support and helps with movement within a cell.

Microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules.

Thin filaments made of the protein actin, involved in cell movement and division.

Interacts with actin to create contractile forces, enabling cell movement and division.

Tough, insoluble protein fibers that provide tensile strength and resist pulling forces on the cell.

Hollow tubes made of tubulin proteins, responsible for intracellular transport and maintaining cell shape.

The region near the nucleus where microtubules originate.

The process of a single cell dividing into two.

They assist in organizing the cytoskeleton and play a crucial role in cell division by forming the mitotic spindle.

It is a spherical structure in the cytoplasm near the nucleus, containing an outer cloud of protein called the centrosome matrix and an inner pair of centrioles.

These are small motor proteins that transport organelles along microtubules.

Microtubules are constantly growing, breaking down, and reassembling, making them adaptable to the cell's changing needs.

They are temporary structures in the cytoplasm that store energy, nutrients, or other materials.

These are spherical drops of stored fat found in cells like liver cells and fat cells.

These are sugar-containing bodies that store a long branching chain of glucose, the cell's primary energy source.

It is a long, branching chain of glucose molecules, the cell's main energy source.
