Question

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

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The three main components of the cytoskeleton are microfilaments (actin filaments), microtubules (tubulin), and intermediate filaments (various proteins like keratin, vimentin). Myosin filaments are motor proteins that interact with actin microfilaments, but they are not considered a core structural component of the cytoskeleton itself.

Hint

One of these is a motor protein that *uses* the cytoskeleton to generate movement.
