What functions of a cytoskeleton are unique to eukaryotic cells?

Answer 1

The cytoskeleton is an ordered network of three primary protein filaments: microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate fibers. As its name suggests, the cytoskeleton aids in maintaining cell shape, but its main function is in cell motility, which is the internal movement of cell organelles, cell locomotion, and contraction of muscle fibers.
