What is the relationship between cilia and the cytoskeleton?

a: the cytoskeleton is the motor of cilia

b: cilia are connected to the cytoskeleton

c: cilia is the motor of the cytoskeleton

d: the cytoskeleton provides energy to cilia

The cytoskeleton provides energy to cilia

Explanation:

The motion of hair-like structures or axonemes called cilia or flagella are done through sliding movements of one another. This motion needs energy and motor protein molecules called dynein.

Dynein is a cytoskeletal motor protein present in the cytoskeleton and moves in the microtubules and converts the chemical energy in the ATP to mechanical energy to power the sliding and bending movements of cilia.

Apart from facilitating movement, cytoskeleton also contains other proteins which helps it to provide shape and support.
