Question

Without a cytoskeleton, eukaryotic cells would not:

• A. Synthesize protein
• B. Have an efficient way to transport materials from one organelle to another
• C. Have an efficient means of metabolism
• D. Communicate with adjacent cells

Answer 1

The correct option is B Have an efficient way to transport materials from one organelle to another

In eukaryotic cells, the cytoskeleton is a framework around the cell that is responsible for the maintenance of its shape and size. The cytoskeleton is also involved in the transport of materials in and out of the cell. It also helps in movement. So, in the absence of a cytoskeleton, a eukaryotic cell would not be able to efficiently transport materials in and out of the cell or between two or more organelles.

So, the correct answer is 'have an efficient way to transport materials from one organelle to another'.
