Solution 1

Microfilaments help cells to have a specific shape, and to move from one place to another. They are part of the cell's cytoskeleton, a network of protein fibers that maintain cell shape and enable cell movement. Microfilaments, specifically, are thin, solid protein fibers that contribute to cell shape and are involved in muscle contraction, cell division, and cell motility (movement).

Mitochondria, membrane transport proteins, and the endoplasmic reticulum have other functions within the cell. Mitochondria are involved in energy production, membrane transport proteins facilitate the movement of substances across the cell membrane, and the endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein and lipid synthesis.
