- Cell structure and tissue organization is mainly determined by the arrangements of the three cytoskeletal elements. Briefly describe (with the aid of diagrams) the structural arrangements and functions of the three cytoskeletal elements in the following cells. a . a dividing cell b. a moving cell c. a nerve cell asap please.arrow_forwardif you visualize the cytoskeleton of a cell that is expanding in one direction, you typically observed a strong orientation of the cytoskeleton. Please answer the following three questions. a. Would the cytoskeleton be oriented parallel or perpendicular to the direction of cell expansion? b. Would the cellulose fibers in the cell wall be parallel or perpendicular to the cytoskeleton? c. Explain why cytoskeleton, cellulose fibers, and direction of cell expansion have the relationship mentioned in a and b?arrow_forwardWhat is the best ( correct ) answer? ( please answer the two questions ) 1- Plasma membrane : A. Support the cell and protect against plasmolysis B.

- Match each of the following to its role in the cell. Microtubules Actin Tubulin Intermediate filaments Kinesin Dynein Myosin Centrosome A. Cytoskeletal fiber that is intermediate in diameter and very sturdy. Does not form from polymerization of protein monomers like the other ones we discussed in class, but consists of polypeptide strands. Keratin and Lamin A are examples. B. The structure that initiates polymerization of new microtubules and anchors microtubules in the center of the cell near the Golgi Complex. C. Motor protein whose activity results in contraction of muscle. D. Thinnest cytoskeletal filament. Responsible for initiation of amoeboid cell movement via pseudopod formation. E. The "monomer" unit of the thickest cytoskeletal polymer; a dimer of two polypeptide subunits. F.
