Question

The cytoskeleton includes all of the following except
Options
A Myosin filament
Correct Answer
B Intermediate filament
C Microtubules
D Microfilament
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The cytoskeleton is primarily composed of three types of protein filaments: microfilaments (actin), microtubules (tubulin), and intermediate filaments (various proteins like keratin). Myosin is a motor protein that interacts with actin filaments to cause contraction, but it is not considered a structural component of the cytoskeleton itself.

Hint

Which of these is a motor protein that walks along filaments, rather than a structural filament itself?
