Solution
The correct option is D Intracellular transport Introduction to cytoskeleton
Cytoskeleton is a cytoplasmic network with filamentous structures consisting of:
*Microtubules
*Microfilaments
*Intermediate filamen
Functions of cytoskeleton
Cytoskeletal structures are made up of proteins and help in the following:
* Maintenance of cell shape
* Mechanical support
* Motility
Intracellular transport
Vesicles that arise from the ER are packaged by the golgi apparatus and are used for intracellular transport of certain substances. Hence, this is controlled by other organelles as well.
