What cylinder-shaped organelle in animal cells help make flagella?
Cilia and flagella are organelles, made up of proteins. They are composed of microtubules. The cilia has a basal body with a 9 + 3 structure of microtubules and the body of the cilia has a ratio of 9 + 0 structure of microtubules.(The NovaNet answer is Centriole)
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 organelle gives the shape and support to the cell?
The cytoskeleton is the framework and structure. It is made up of microtubules,microfilaments, and centrioles.
What is the difference between microtubules and microfilaments?
microtubules and microfilaments are alike in some ways, but are NOT the same. Microtubules are the building blocks to actin and provide structure and cell strength. They are thinner in relation to microtubules. Microtubules are made from tubulin, and are seen in different cell function, such as mitosis (extend from centrosomes to attach to centromere kinetechore), reproductive system (making up flagella that move sperm or cilia in fallopian tubes to catch/move the egg) and respiratory system (cilia in the lungs to remove debris and keep lungs clean).
Microtubles and microfilaments are made from proteins that are shaped like?
Microtubules 50nm, make up the larger part of the cytoskeleton, and they are hollow, and larger. Microfilaments 8-10 nm are smaller, they are in a double helix shape, different from microtubules.
What does microtublues do?
Microtubules are important for maintaining cell structure within the cell. Microtubules are made of tubulin. They also make up flagella. In animal cells, nine triplets of microtubules make up the two centrioles which are important in cell division. The mitotic spindle is made of microtubules which aid the cell replication process by pulling apart sister chromatids.
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 is the function of a sytoskeleton?
The cytoskeleton is made up of three main parts. (microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules) They all help to maintain cell structure and cell shape.
What cylinder-shaped organelle in animal cells help make flagella?
Cilia and flagella are organelles, made up of proteins. They are composed of microtubules. The cilia has a basal body with a 9 + 3 structure of microtubules and the body of the cilia has a ratio of 9 + 0 structure of microtubules.(The NovaNet answer is Centriole)

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.
Cilia and flagella are made of protein filaments called?
Cilia and flagella are made of dynins and nexin proteins. Cilia and flagella are made up of microtubules and they are long, wispy tentecles that resemble hair.
What structures make up the fibers of the mitotic spindle?
Mitotic spindles are made up of microtubules. Microtubules are hollow cylinders that have a diameter of about 25nm
What part of cell is made up of microtubules and helps organize microtubules involved in cell division cilia and flagella?
ribosomes
What types of structure compose the cuytoskeleton?
Cytoskeletal filaments are made up of actin, intermediate filaments that contain 70 different proteins coupled with microtubules with tubulin as the basic subunit.
What organelle gives the shape and support to the cell?
The cytoskeleton is the framework and structure. It is made up of microtubules,microfilaments, and centrioles.
What are cilia and flagella made up of?
They are composed of microtubules in a "9 + 2" array, similar to centrioles but with two additional microtubules in the center.
What are centrioles composed of?
The centrosome contains centrioles and serves to organize microtubules.
