Cytoskeleton Components and Functions: Microtubules, Actin & Intermediate Filaments #biology

In this Info Space lecture, we provide a comprehensive overview of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. We compare and contrast the structure, protein composition, and specific functions of the three primary cytoskeletal filaments. 🧬 Key Topics: Structure of Tubulin vs. Actin. The role of Microtubules in Cilia, Flagella, and Mitosis. How Actin drives Cell Motility (crawling) and Cytokinesis. The stabilizing role of Intermediate Filaments (e.g., Nuclear Lamina). Intracellular Transport via Kinesin and Dynein. Whether you are studying for Class 11 Biology, NEET, or CSIR NET Life Sciences, this guide will clarify these essential cellular structures. ‪@info-space‬
