Question

match the component of the cytoskeleton with its characteristics: composed of spherical protein subunits that can be quickly assembled and disassembled by the cell. options: intermediate filaments, microfilaments, none of the listed responses is correct, microtubules, i dont know yet

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each cytoskeleton component:

• Intermediate filaments: Stable, not quickly assembled/disassembled.
• Microfilaments: Made of actin (not spherical subunits in the way described here for quick assembly/disassembly matching the question).
• Microtubules: Composed of tubulin (spherical protein subunits) and can be quickly assembled/disassembled by the cell for functions like cell division, transport, etc. So the correct match is Microtubules.

Answer:

D. Microtubules
