2 M. Tweedie Room 54

3 Cytoskeleton The cytoskeleton is a network of protein filaments that help: the cell retain its shape with cellular movement What are they? Microfilaments Microtubles

4 Microfilaments Made of Actin (same protein found in muscle) Maintain cell shape Aide in movement Move the Pseudopod (false foot): projections of the cell membrane of eukaryotes

5 Microtubles Important in cell division (spindle fibers) They attach to and move chromosomes during cell division In animal cells the Centrioles are centers for spindle fiber organization

6 Cilia and Flagella Move the Cell Cilia – tiny hair-like projections that beat in rhythm Flagella – whip-like projections Cilia can also be used: To move substances along surface (lining of lungs) As sensory receptors (touch, sound, etc.)

7 Nuclear Envelope Double membrane that surrounds the nucleus Has pores that only allow certain substances to pas through (NOT DNA!)

8 Cell Wall Plants have a cell wall surrounding their cell membranes Made of Cellulose (polysaccharide) Gives structure and support Works with central vacuole to hold plant upright (pressure inside)

9 Turgor Pressure in Plants!
