All animals need oxygen gas (O2 ) for their primary cellular-level functioning. Inside the cell, O2 is split apart into oxygen atoms. Eventually, electrons that are flowing through the cell will be "received" by this oxygen

But first, the electrons combine with protons present in the cell to form a basic element that has a single proton and a single electron. Then this element combines with the oxygen to form a certain chemical compound. In this scenario, what chemical compound is produced when this element combines with oxygen? A) Bicarbonate (HCO3 ) B) Water (H2O) C) Carbon dioxide (CO2 ) D) Ozone (O3)

C) The cytoskeleton is composed of three types of fibers: microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. D) The cytoskeleton plays an important role in amoeboid motion.
