Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The primary function of cytoskeleton is to give the cell its shape and mechanical resistance to deformation.

It is made up of a network of protein fibers that support the cell shape and anchoring organelles within the cell known as cytoskeletal elements.

The cytoskeletal elements include;

  • microtubules which are formed formed by tubulins
  • microfilaments formed by actins
  • intermediate filaments.

All the three components interact with each other non-covalently.

These structures give the cell its shape and help maintain its structure.
