What are microtubes made out of?
Microfilaments are made of protein strands called actin.
What helps a cell move and maintain its shape?
The cytoskeleton maintains cell shape.the cytoskeleton made of microfilaments and protein filamentsorganellesCytoskeleton
In a eukaryotic cell a network of protein filaments called what help maintain the shape of cell?
A network of protein filaments is called a cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton helps cells to maintain their shape as well as support and movement.
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 is the structure of microfilament?
Microfilaments are solid rods about 7nm in diameter. They are also called actin filaments, because they are built from molecules called actin (a globular protein). A microfilament is a twisted double chain of actin subunits. Microfilaments are present in all eukaryotic cells. The structural role of microfilaments in the cytoskeleton is to bear tension (pulling forces). They help support/form the cells shape.
What is the cytoskeleton and what are the two of its major components?
The cytoskeleton is a network of filamentous proteins that holds the organelles in place and maintains the shape of a cell. It is composed of microtubules (composed of the protein tubulin), intermediate fibers, and microfilaments.

Proteins
What are 3 protein fibers found in cytoskeleton?
1. A network of microtubules mainly in ectoplasm2. cytoplasmic network of microfilaments (actin filaments)3. Intermidiate fillamentsthe main protein of cytoskeleton are tubulin, actin, and myosin.
Actin makes up cytoskeleton fibers called?
The actin that makes up cytoskeleton fibers are called microfilaments. They are the thinnest filaments of the cytoskeleton a structure found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.Ê
In a eukaryotic cell a network of protein filaments called what help maintain the shape of cell?
A network of protein filaments is called a cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton helps cells to maintain their shape as well as support and movement.
What are the types of cytoskeleton?
1. A network of microtubules mainly in ectoplasm2. cytoplasmic network of microfilaments (actin filaments)3. Intermidiate fillamentsthe main protein of cytoskeleton are tubulin, actin, and myosin.
What thin solid protein fibers that provide structural support for eukaryotic cells?
MicrofilamentsThere are two types of proteins that make up the cytoskeleton. Microtubules and microfilaments. Since you asked what the "fibers" are I assume you are talking about the microfilaments.
What is a microfilament?
Being part of the cytoskeleton, microfilaments allow cells to move.
What cytoskeleton protein helps a cell maintain its shape?
Microtubules and microfilaments...(eg:actin,filamin protin network!)
