I.List the (main) factors that determine the shape of a cell. |
|
Answer» Cytoskelteton is network of protein fibres throughout a cell. This scaffolding maintains the shape of cell. Another structural component is cell membrane a fluid of phospholipids. It is lipid bilayer separating the room of cell into organelles and from outer space. Three general factors determine cell shape: the state of the cytoskeleton, the amount of water that is pumped into a cell, and the state of thecell wall. Each of these three factors is highly dynamic, meaning they are constantly in flux or can be suddenly changed. This dynamism is how cells can vary in shape. |
