Intermediate filaments have motors but are not polarized. Microfilaments are assembled from a large number of places. Microfilaments and microtubules are found in essentially all eukaryotic cells and a wide diversity of cellular processes. Microtubules function in ways that are highly similar to Intermediate filaments. Microfilaments and microtubules are highly dynamic.

1. The three cytoskeletal filaments perform distinct tasks in the cell and act completely independently of one another. 1. All eukaryotic cells have actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments in their cytoplasm. 1. The cytoskeleton provides a rigid and unchangeable structure important for the shape of the cell.

For each of the following, decide whether it applies to actin filaments, intermediate filaments, and/or microtubules. NOTE: there may be multiple answers for each statement. A. Found in the nucleus and cytoplasm B. Involved in the transport of vesicles and organelles C. Associate with proteins that help adhere cells to the extracellular matrix D. Their stability is influenced by nucleotide hydrolysis E. Directly involved in phagocytosis F. Can associate into bundles with the help of other proteins.
