-Which of the following statements about the cytoskeleton is True?

• A)The dynamic aspect of cytoskeletal function is made possible by the assembly and disassembly of a large number of complex proteins into larger aggregates.
• B)Microfilaments are structurally rigid and resist compression, while microtubules resist tension (stretching).
• C)Movement of cilia and flagella is the result of motor proteins causing microtubules to move relative to each other.
• D)Chemicals that block the assembly of the cytoskeleton would cause little effect on the cell's metabolism
• E)Transport vesicles among the membranes of the endomembrane system produce the cytoskeleton.
