MAIN IDEA: Eukaryotic cells have an extensive and dynamic framework called a cyto- skeleton. The cytoskeleton is used for cell shape, internal structure, movement, and cell division. Many cells are surrounded by and supported by a complex extracellular matrix and are able to interact with adjacent cells and the environment via cell junctions. 3. List three common components of microtubules and microfilaments. 6. Complete the paragraph to describe how organelles help cells and cell contents move around. _j help to move cell components, such as a cell's during cell division. They rapidly assemble strengthen duplicated hen needed and then disassemble. and change the shape of a eukaryotic cell. In this way they can help the cell move.
