1
Organelles for support and locomotion
2
The cytoskeleton Forms a framework for the cell
It can be dismantled in one place and reassembled somewhere else changing the cell’s shape Microtubules – thin, hollow cylinders made of protein Microfillaments – smaller, solid protein fibers
3
Microtubules & microfilaments:
They act together as a scaffold to maintain the shape of the cell. They anchor and support many organelles They provide a “highway” system through with materials move within the cell.
5
centrioles Found in the cells of animals and most protists.
They occur in pairs They are made up of microtubules. They have an important roll in cell division.
6
Cilia & flagella Both are organelles made of microtubules that aid the cell in locomotion or feeding. Cilia: -short, numerous projections that look like hairs. -Their motion is similar to that of oars in a rowboat. -Found in Eukaryotes
7
Flagella Longer projections It moves with a Whip-like motion A cell usually has only one or two flagella Found in Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes
