10. Framework of filaments and fibers involved in cell support and movement.
11. An organelle that synthesizes proteins. _________________________
12. Tiny hollow tube made of proteins that are involved in support, the movement of organelles within
the cell, and the formation of centrioles. Microtubules
13. Long, thin fiber that functions in the movement and the support of the cell.
