To review:
Match the term cytoskeleton with the most closely related descriptions given below:
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) replication
Flattened membrane discs, packaging
Adjacent plasma membranes bound by bands of interlocking proteins
Packaging of materials for import into cell
RNA (ribonucleic acid) and protein; protein synthesis
Control center; stores genetic information
Cell vesicles with digestive enzymes
Embedded in the plasma membrane
Internal protein framework in the cytoplasm
Introduction:
Organelles are the structures that perform several functions in the cell. Cells may differ in the organelle composition. Organelles are classified into membranous and nonmembranous organelles. The cytoskeleton is a nonmembrane bound organelle.

- What is Cytoskeleton?arrow_forwardCancer cells can eventually metastasize (or spread) from their tissue of organ to distant sites throughout the body. Which of the three types of cytoskeletal components could be used to detect the tissue of organ of a metastatic cancer cell? Why? (For example, if you took a biopsy of a tumor that had spread to the lungs, how could use what you know about the cytoskeleton to determine where the cancer originated? )arrow_forward
