Yes, microtubules are polimers of two proteins-alpha and beta tubulin and they have cylinder shape, which is empty inside. I wouldn't say they are thin, though, in comparison to other cytoskeleton components they are quite big in both diameter and lenght.

Thin hollow cylinders made of protein?
Thin hollow cylinders made of protein that provide structural support for eukaryotic cells are microtubules. Microtubules are involved in nuceic and cell division, organization of intracellular structure, and intracellular transport, as well as ciliary and flagellar motility.
The hollow tubes of protein that help maintain the shape of the cell is what?
microtubules.... might be right
What is a protein in microtubules that forms hollow tubes?
cytoskeleton
Spindle fibers are made of hollow tubes of protein called what?
microtubules
What cytoskeleton fiber is a strait hollow tube of protein?
Microtubules
What are hollow tubes made of spherical protein subunits called tubulins?
microtubules
Thin hollow cylinders made of protein?
Thin hollow cylinders made of protein that provide structural support for eukaryotic cells are microtubules. Microtubules are involved in nuceic and cell division, organization of intracellular structure, and intracellular transport, as well as ciliary and flagellar motility.
What are microtubules and microfilaments and what are their functions?
Expert please, great Qn. Function: microfilaments - cell movement microtubules - involved in cell division Definition: Microtubules - hollow rod constructed of many molecules of the protein tubulin. Part of the cytoskeletion. microfilament - rod of actin protein in the cytoplasm that provides structural support or movement. Part of the cytoskeleton.

Microtubules
Do plant and animal cells have microfilaments?
Yes, plants have microtubules. Microtubules are hollow tubes composed of a protein called tubulin. They are the thickest and most rigid of the filaments.
The microtubules that form centrioles and spindle fibers are made of hollow tubes of?
