if 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?
Name the parts of a cell in which the following organelles exist: (a) centrioles, (b) microtubules, (c) nuclear envelope, (d) chromatin. What are their functions?
Which of the following is a feature common to all three components of the cytoskeleton? a. They all serve to scaffold the organelles within the cell. b. They are all characterized by roughly the same diameter. c. They are all polymers of protein subunits. d. They all help the cell resist compression and tension.
