CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have found the CYTOSKELETON. Cytoskeleton HOW is the FTA main staircase LIKE the cytoskeleton in a cell? Cytoskeleton can be found in ALL CELLS The cytoskeleton are strands of protein that help the cell maintain its shape and size. Without the cytoskeleton, the cell might be more collapsed. The proteins of the cytoskeleton help keep the cell firm and full. CYTOSKELETON CODES: 11 = N 12 = V

Endoplasmic reticulum can be found in ALL EUKARYOTIC CELLS (i. e. plant, animal, fungi, etc. ). The ER is a long system of tubes and sacs. It acts as a “highway” for the cell. Materials made or processed in one part of the cell are transported to new parts of the cell on the ER. There are TWO types of Endoplasmic Reticulum: ROUGH ER – Extends from the nucleus. Studded with ribosomes; modifies proteins for shipment to other parts of the cell SMOOTH ER – Modifies & assembles lipids for shipment to other parts of the cell. ENDOPLASMIC. RETICULUM CODE: 15 = C
