The hollow tubes of protein that help maintain the shape of the cell is what?
microtubules.... might be right
Does bacteria have microtubules?
Bacteria do not have microtubules in an eukaryotic sense since they do not have tubulin. However, they do have tubulin homologue FtsZ protein that form structures and perform functions similar to microtubules in eukaryotes. Sometimes these structures are referred to as 'bacteria microtubules'.
Are microtubules tubelike proteins?
Microtubules and microfilaments are cellular cytoskeletal networks. Microtubules are tubular proteins made by tubulin polymers. they have role in cell structure, cell movement, mitosis, gene regulation and so on.
Which is part of the cytoskeleton?
Microtubules
Are microtubules found in eukaryotic cells or prokaryotic cells?
Microtubules are found in Eukarytotic cells. However, some archeabacteria have been found to contain microtubule-like structures but these are not true microtubules.
Which cytoskeletal element radiates from the cell center?
Microtubules radiate from the cell center.
What produces microtubules during cell division in animals?
kinetochore microtubules are located in the centrosomes and produce the microtubules
What is the stystem of microtubules?
The Cytoskeleton is a system of microtubules, in a cell.
Organelles used to move chromosomes are the?
microtubules
The hollow tubes of protein that help maintain the shape of the cell is what?
microtubules.... might be right
What are some sentences for radiate?
Her face seemed to radiate kindness. Spokes radiate from an axle.
Spindle fibres are composed of?
They are made up of clusters of microtubules. Microtubules are made of the protein tubuliln and are responsible for cell movement and shape. The microtubules are like "conveyor belts" inside the cell.
What microtubules are necessary for sorting the chromosomes in cell division?
The kinetochore microtubules
What are spindle fibers composed of?
spindle fibers are composed of what? Answer: Microtubules
Which cytoskeleton fibers are found in cilia and flagella?
microtubules
Can you have a sentence using the word radiate?
The sun will radiate.
What is a spindle made of?
a spindle fiber is a specialized form of microtubules...that's what it is made of
