________ provide strength, stabilize organelles, and transport materials within the cytoplasm; they are defined by their size rather than composition, which varies from cell to cell.
A) Cilia
B) Thick filaments
C) Microfilaments
D) Tubulin filaments
E) Intermediate filaments

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intermediate filaments provide strength and stability to cells, and also help to anchor organelles in place. Unlike microfilaments and tubulin filaments, which consist of specific protein subunits, intermediate filaments vary in composition between cell types. They are larger in diameter than microfilaments or tubulin filaments, but smaller than thick filaments. Cilia are not related to the function of intermediate filaments.
