Chapter 4, Problem 16DYB
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The three types of proteins that form cytoskeleton, also explain the general function of each.
Concept introduction:
Cytoskeletons are filamentous proteins, which provide the structural support and basic framework to the cells. Microtubule, intermediate filaments and microfilaments, collectively provide the coordinated cellular movement and shape to the cell.
