Question
Without actin, our cytoskeletal structure lacks:Group of answer choicesmicrofilamentsmicrotubulesintermediate filamentscell walls
Solution
Without actin, our cytoskeletal structure lacks microfilaments. Actin is a protein that forms microfilaments, a component of the cell's cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton gives a cell its shape, offers support, and facilitates movement. The other components of the cytoskeleton, microtubules and intermediate filaments, are made up of other types of proteins, not actin. Cell walls are a feature of plant cells, not directly related to actin or the cytoskeleton.
