The cytoskeleton of a eukaryotic cell plays several important roles. Match the component of the cytoskeleton on the left to a function on the right. One answer will not be used. microfilaments [Choose] microtubules [Choose] intermediate filaments [Choose] [Choose] forms the protein tracks to transport vesicles from one site to another provides additional support to the membrane Question 10 provides transportation of cellular materials through the nuclear envelope provides mechanical support and stability to the cell to organelles

Match the cytoskeleton component to its correct definition, function, or process. Answers may be used more than once. 1. Movement of cilia and flagella: Microtubules 2. Transport of vesicles: Microtubules 3. Muscle contraction: Actin filaments 4. Cytokinesis: Actin filaments 5. Structural support in skin cells and cells that line surfaces of the body and skin: Intermediate filaments 6. The largest cytoskeleton filament made of alpha- and beta-tubulin dimers: Microtubules
