The Cytoskeleton — Microtubules, Microfilaments, Intermediate Filaments, and Motor Proteins Explained | Chapter 10 of Karp’s Cell and Molecular Biology Chapter 10 of Karp’s Cell and Molecular Biology: Concepts and Experiments explores the cytoskeleton, a dynamic and structurally complex network that provides cells with shape, mechanical support, mobility, and the ability to organize internal components. Composed of microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments, the cytoskeleton functions as both the architectural framework and the transportation infrastructure of the eukaryotic cell. This expanded summary complements the YouTube breakdown and offers a clear, in-depth explanation of how cytoskeletal elements work together to maintain cellular life. To follow along visually and reinforce these key concepts, make sure to watch the chapter summary above.
