that form a framework for the cell.

Cytoskeleton provides support for organelles
Microtubules- thin hollow cylinders of protein
Microfilaments- thin solid proteins fibers
Cilia and flagella-
Structures that aid in locomotion or feeding

Cilia- are short, numerous, hairlike projections that move in a wavelike motion
Flagella- longer projections that move with a whiplike motion
