How Does the Cytoskeleton Participate in Intracellular Transport?
Intracellular transport is heavily reliant on the cytoskeleton. Microtubules serve as tracks for the movement of organelles, vesicles, and other cellular components. Motor proteins such as kinesin and dynein move along these microtubule tracks to transport cargo to specific locations within the cell. This transport system is vital for the proper functioning and organization of the cell.
