Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both microtubules and microfilaments are involved in supporting the movement of materials inside the cell. Microtubules are important in maintaining the structure of organelles and facilitating the movement of vesicles and other organelles along them. Microfilaments are involved in the contraction and movement of the cell itself, as well as in the movement of vesicles and organelles within the cell. Intermediate filaments are primarily involved in providing mechanical strength to cells and tissues.
