Question

Which of the following is not a function of cytoskeleton in a cell?

• A. Support of the organelle
• B. Maintenance of cell shape and structure
• C. Cell motility
• D. Intracellular transport

Answer 1

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.

Final answer: a) Intracellular transport
