Question
Chapter 5.3, Problem 3RIA
Summary Introduction
A network of tubules and filaments that extends throughout a cell nucleus to the cell membrane is called cytoskeleton. It is found in the cytoplasm of all cells including archaea, and bacteria. The cytoskeleton provides shape for cell, support the cell, and organizes. It also has a role in cell division, molecule transport, and cell signaling.
