When you trim your nails, you are removing dead cells that have accumulated to a huge amount one of the cell organelles involved in giving shape and support to the cell. Which one is it? Explain your reasoning

The cell organelles which involves in shape and support to the cell is Cytoskeleton.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The Cytoskeleton is the complex and dynamic network that consists of proteins that are present in the cytoplasm.
  • The Cytoskeleton provides shapes and support to the cells and the movement of cells. It enables cell division.
  • The Cytoskeleton is found inside eukaryotic cells. actin filaments, microtubules, and the intermediate filaments are the types of filaments in Cytoskeleton

The Cytoskeleton is the cell organelle responsible for providing shape and support to all cells. The cytoskeleton is made of protein.

Step-by-step explanation:

The location where cytoplasm meets the cell membrane, cytoskeleton is found. A cell's cytoskeleton consists of microtubules, actin filaments, and the intermediate filaments. These frameworks give form to the cell and support to organize the parts of the cell.

They also provide a structure for motion, and segregation of cells. Intermediate filaments are a form of cytoskeletal material composed of several fibrous protein strands wrapped together. Keratin is one protein that shapes intermediate filaments, a fibrous common ingredient in hair, nails and skin.
