Questions and Answers

Quel est le rôle du cytosquelette dans la cellule?

  • Il produit l'énergie nécessaire à la cellule
  • Il stocke les nutriments et les déchets de la cellule
  • Il régule la température de la cellule
  • Il fournit un soutien et une organisation à la cellule (correct)
  • True or false: The cytoskeleton only contributes to the cell's organization, but not its dynamics.

    False

    Study Notes

    1. The cytoskeleton supports the cell membrane and contributes to the cell's organization and dynamics.
    2. It has active mechanical forces such as polymerization, tension, and contraction.
    3. It participates in cell movement, division, and morphology.
    4. The cytoskeleton is responsible for mitosis and cell division.
    5. It is made up of polymers of polypeptides with non-covalent bonds.
    6. The majority of the dynamics occur at the ends of filaments.
    7. There are three types of filaments: microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments.
    8. Microfilaments are made of actin and are approximately 8nm.
    9. Microtubules are made of tubulin and are approximately 25nm.
    10. Intermediate filaments are approximately 10nm.
