CELL PARTS
Parts used for Cell Structure and Cell
Division (Page 84)
CYTOSKELETON
CYTOSKELETON
Located in cytosol of the cytoplasm
STRUCTURE
Network of thin tubes
and filaments (Made of
Protein) that
crisscrosses the cytosol
Made up of
Microfilaments,
Microtubules and
Intermediate Filaments
FUNCTION
Gives shape to the
cell(like the inside of a
tent)
Plays important roles in
intracellular transport
Act as internal tracks
(for example:the
movement of vesicles
and organelles)
Cellular division.
MICROTUBULES
STRUCTURE
Hollow tubes made of
coiled tubulin (a type of
protein)
Two subunits:
Alpha and Beta Tubulin
Radiate outward from
the centrosome near
the nucleus
FUNCTION
Chromosome
Movement(Cell Division)
Hold organelles in place
and assists in organelle
movement
Cell Motility – Make up
Cilia and Flagella
Maintains cell’s shape
Microtubules
Microfilaments
Structure
Two strands of
intertwined actin
protein
Looks like a rope
Function
Maintains cell’s
shape and movement
of cytoplasm
Cell Motility (ex:
White blood Cells)
Cell Division
**Muscle cell
Contraction
MICROFILAMENTS
Intermediate Filaments
Structure
Protein fibers coiled
into cables
Function
Rods that anchor
nucleus and other
organelles in their
place
Maintains cell shape
and Nucleus Shape
Intermediate Filaments
CENTROSOMES & CENTRIOLES
Centrioles and Centrosomes
Centrosome Structure
Contain two centrioles
Centrioles Structure
Two short cylinders of
microtubules
Centrosome Function
Microtubule Organizing
Center
Contains two centrioles
in the animal cell
Centrioles Function
Act as anchors that
microtubules attach to
during cell division to
move chromosomes.
CILIA AND FLAGELLA
CILIA AND FLAGELLA
Structure:
Flagella- Made of
microtubules. One
or two long strand
that extends from
the cell Membrane
Cilia- Many short
hairlike structures
that extend from
the cell membrane
Function
Movement of the
cell
Aids in movement
of fluids across the
cell membrane
