Answer
The cytoskeleton in the eukaryotic cell is comprised of 3 types of filaments: microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Motor proteins drive muscle contraction and actively transports most of the proteins and vesicles in the cytoplasm. The motor protein kinesin delivers vesicles throughout the cell by walking along microtubule tracks and physically pulling the vesicle, using ATP in the process.
