Microtubules are cyclindrical shaped polymers that help maintain and stabilize cell structure. They also have a major role in the transportation of molecules within the cell. They are part of the cytoskeleton, and the cytoskeleton is considered to be an organelle. The microtubules are only a fraction of an organelle under the cytoskeleton.
What else can I help you with?
What organelle is made up of microtubules and microfilaments?
Only the plasma membrane is made of phosophlipids as a semipermiable membrane. No other structures are made from it. There are, however, organelles which are surrounded by a plasma membrane. These include nucleus, mitochondria, peroxisomes, lysosomes and chloroplasts (in plants).
What organelle has 13 rows of tubulin dimers around an empty central core?
The centriole is the organelle that has 13 rows of tubulin dimers around an empty central core. It plays a key role in cell division by organizing the mitotic spindle apparatus.
This organelle found in animal cells functions in cell division and aids in spindle formation?
The organelle you are referring to is the centrosome. It contains a pair of centrioles and helps organize microtubules during cell division to form the mitotic spindle, which is essential for segregating chromosomes.
What is the organelle that aids in cell division?
The organelle that aids in cell division is the centriole. Centrioles are responsible for organizing the microtubules that make up the mitotic spindle during cell division, helping to separate chromosomes into two daughter cells.
What is the function of the centrioles in the cell?
The centriole is a paired organelle found only in animal cells. It is located near the nucleus in the centrosome, and acts as an organizing center for microtubules. The centrioles helps in the organization of Mitotic spindle fibers and in the completion of Cytokinesis.
What organelle is absent in plant cell?
microtubules
A nonmembranous organelle of two bundles of microtubules?
centrioles
What organelle has short extensions of the cytoskeleton used for movement?
microtubules
What organelle has two short microtubules at right angles and have an active role in mitosis?
centriole
Cell organelle is the transport system for the cell?
No, they are not. Microtubules for the basis of transport within the cell.
What is an organelle that is composed of two short microtubules at right angles to each other?
(: Centriole :)
Which organelle sends out microtubules that connect to DNA during metaphase?
The centrioles are organelles in the cell that sends out microtubules that connect to the DBA during the metaphase. These centrioles determine the position of the nucleus and plays a crucial role in the spatial arrangement of the cell.
What is an organelle that's composed of two short microtubules at right angles to each other?
centriole
What organelle is not found only in plants?
nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, microtubules
Organelle composed of two short microtubules at tight angles to each other has active role in mitosis?
centriole
What organelle is not only found in plant cells?
nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, microtubules
What have small cylindrical structures that contain microtubules?
The centrosome is an organelle that serves as the main microtubule organizing center (MTOC) of the eukaryotic cell.
