Collectively, this network of protein fibers is known as the cytoskeleton. There are three types of fibers within the cytoskeleton: microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules.

Organelles allow for various functions to occur in the cell at the same time. Before discussing the functions of organelles within a eukaryotic cell, let us first examine two important components of the cell: the plasma membrane and the cytoplasm.

Sometimes cytoplasm acts like a watery solution, and sometimes it takes on a more gel-like consistency. A framework of protein scaffolds called the cytoskeleton provides the cytoplasm and the cell with structure.

It covers key components such as the plasma membrane, nucleus, and organelles involved in protein synthesis, as well as the cytoskeleton and various tissue types. The text also addresses cell junctions, apoptosis, chloroplasts, types of chlorophyll, and cellular transport mechanisms like diffusion, endocytosis, and exocytosis.

Eukaryotic cell morphologies vary greatly and may be maintained by various structures, including the cytoskeleton, the cell membrane, and/or the cell wall The nucleolus in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells is the site of ribosomal synthesis.
