All eukaryotic cells have a cytoskeleton, including plant cells, which have cell walls as well. What does the cytoskeleton in a plant cell do that the cell wall cannot?

Answer;

-It helps keep the organelles in place and directs their movement inside the cell as needed.

Step-by-step explanation;

-Cytoskeleton is the frame that gives shape to a cell. The skeleton also helps hold all of the organelles (organs, in people) in place. It also assists in moving materials in and out of the cell.

-Through a series of intercellular proteins, the cytoskeleton gives a cell its shape, offers support, and facilitates movement through three main components: microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. The cytoskeleton helps the cell move in its environment and controls the movement of all of the cell's interior workings.

-The microtubules have three different functions which contribute to the job of the cytoskeleton. They make up the centrioles in a cell, they are the base of both the flagella and cilia of a cell, and they function as the pathway thatthe transport vesicles move along.
