- microtubules
- microfilaments
- intermediate filaments
- all of these
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The cytoskeleton can also be referred to as cytomusculature, because it is directly involved in movements such as crawling of cells on a substratum, muscle contraction and the many changes in the shape of a developing vertebrate embryo; it also provides the machinery for the cyclosis in cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton is apparently absent from bacteria and it may have been a significant factor in the evolution of eukaryotic cells. The cytoskeleton extends throughout the cytoplasm and is a complex network of three types of protein filaments, microtubules, microfilaments (actin filaments) and intermediate filaments $(IFs)$.

Concepts Used:
Eurkaryotic Cells - Golgi Apparatus
The Golgi apparatus is also known as the Golgi complex or the Golgi body. The term is derived from Camillo Golgi, the scientist who discovered the organelle. It can be found in all eukaryotic cells, including plants and animals. They are membrane-bound organelles found in the cell's cytoplasm.
Formation of acrosome: The acrosome is a component of the tip of animal sperms that aids in the digestion of the egg or ovum covering sheath during fertilisation. The Golgi complex produces it with the help of its vesicles.
