The cytoskeleton consists of _____.
A)microfilaments and sterols
B)microtubules and proteins
C)microfilaments and microtubules
D)sterols and proteins

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cytoskeleton is made up of two main components: microfilaments (made of actin proteins) and microtubules (made of tubulin proteins). Both of these components work together to provide structure, support, and movement within cells. Sterols are not typically considered part of the cytoskeleton, although some types of cells may have specialized structures that contain sterols (such as lipid rafts). Proteins are an essential component of the cytoskeleton, but they are not the only components. Therefore, the best answer is C, which includes both microfilaments and microtubules as components of the cytoskeleton.
