microtubules
A microtubule is the structure that supports and shapes the cell.

The microtubule is the mechanism that supports the cell and gives it its shape.

No, the hollow cylinder that supports and shapes cells is called the cell membrane. The cell wall is a rigid structure found outside the cell membrane in plant cells, fungi, and some bacteria, providing structural support and protection.

Spindle fibers are thin hollow cylinders that assist in chromosome movement during cell division. These structures are made of microtubules and help separate the chromosomes, ensuring that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes.

Microtubules are microscopic cylinders made up of tubulin proteins that help support and maintain the shape of cells. They are important for various cellular processes such as cell division, intracellular transport, and cell migration.
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.
