NEET 2023 Phase 1 · BiologyCytoskeletonPrevious Year Question

Which of the following functions is carried out by cytoskeleton in a cell?

Answer: (C) Motility. Answer: (C) Motility Solution: The cytoskeleton is an elaborate network of microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments that is involved in mechanical support, motility and maintenance of cell shape.

  1. A.Nuclear division
  2. B.Protein synthesis
  3. C.Motility✓
  4. D.Transportation

Correct Answer

(C) Motility

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (C) Motility Solution: The cytoskeleton is an elaborate network of microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments that is involved in mechanical support, motility and maintenance of cell shape. Of the options given, motility is the listed cytoskeletal function. Nuclear division, protein synthesis and transportation are functions associated with other structures (spindle/centrioles, ribosomes, and membranes/ER respectively). NCERT Reference: Ch 8, p.98, lines 47-49: "The cytoskeleton in a cell are involved in many functions such as mechanical support, motility, maintenance of the shape of the cell."
