Cytoskeleton is made up of
A
Proteinaceous filaments
B
Calcium carbonate granules
C
Callose deposits
D
Cellulose microfibrils
Detailed Solution
The cytoskeleton is an elaborate network of filamentous proteinaceous structures present in the cytoplasm.
It consists of microtubules (made of tubulin), microfilaments (made of actin) and intermediate filaments.
It provides mechanical support, motility and maintenance of the shape of the cell.
Cellulose microfibrils form the cell wall, and callose is deposited on sieve plates; they are not part of the cytoskeleton.
Hence the cytoskeleton is made up of proteinaceous filaments.
