Cell Biology Quiz

How does the cytoskeleton contribute to cellular cooperation in multicellular organisms?

• By synthesizing proteins for communication

• By detoxifying substances for neighboring cells

• By enabling movement and transport within cells

• By storing genetic material for replication
