Only clearly seen in eukaryotes cytoskeletons are seen as filaments running through the cytoplasm of cells. The cytoskeleton is responsible for a cells shape and movement. Other properties include positioning organelles within a cell and directing transport between intracellular compartments. The cytoskeleton is associated with motor proteins which generate movement and allow the cell to be dynamic. The cytoskelton can be sub-divided into three components; Actin filaments, Microtubules and Intermediate filaments.
