Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Eukaryotic cells contain cytoskeleton; this structure is unique to the eukaryotic cell. The cytoskeleton is a three-dimensional structure and it is a network of tubules and filaments that fills the cytoplasm.

- There are three major classes of filaments that make up the cytoskeleton. What are they, and what are the differences in their functions? Which cytoskeletal filaments would be most plentiful in a muscle cell or in an epidermal cell making up the outer layer of the skin? explain your answers.arrow_forwardSecretory vesicles fuse with the cell membrane to release their contents to the outside of the cell. In this process, the membrane of the secretory vesicle becomes part of the cell membrane. Because small pieces of membrane are continually added to the cell membrane, we would expect the cell membrane to become larger and larger as secretion continues. However, the cell membrane stays the same size. Explain how this happens.arrow_forwardMatch each term to the phrase that describes it best. Cell fiber that can be found in muscle cells a.
