question_answer 27)

  Which of the following is not a function of cytoskeleton in a cell? (a) Intracellular transport                                             (b) Maintenance of cell shape and structure (c) Support of the organelle                                        (d) Cell motility

Answer:

                  (a) Cytoskeleton is not associated with the intracellular transport. The microtubules andmicrofilaments, are the components of cytoskeleton and are responsible for cellularand intercellular movements Rest of the options are functions of cytoskeleton is a cell. Cytoskeleton provides mechanical support to the cell that helps in maintaining cellshape and structure. The cytoskeleton also keeps other organelles such as mitochondria and ribosome separated from one another to avoid interference in one another's activities. It also helps in supporting the cell organelles.
