What is micro filaments and micro tubules?
Microtubules typically radiate outwards from the centre of the cell; a place called an MTOC or microtubule organizing centre. They are involved in kinetichore and spindle formation during mitosis. On the other hand actin filaments are found in the cell cortex just below the cell membrane and are involved in cell locomotion.
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 protein fiber is used for cellular movement and are extremely thin in size?
Microfilaments and Microtubules are involved.
Which organelle is responsible for cell division?
The organelle involved in cell division in animal cells is called centriolles.
Which cytoskeletal proteins are important constituents of the contractile structures that form the cleavage furrows involved in animal cell cytokinesis?
Micro filaments form the cleavage furrow.Ring of filaments lay in the equator of the cell and its contraction forms the cleavage.
Parts of cytoskeleton?
The cytoskeleton is in itself an organelle, and it is made up of proteins. Only animal cells have cytoskeletons b/c plant cells have a cell wall instead.

What part of cell is made up of microtubules and helps organize microtubules involved in cell division cilia and flagella?
ribosomes

What is a framework of filaments and fibers involved in cell support and movement?
Cytoskeleton
What protein fiber is used for cellular movement and are extremely thin in size?
Microfilaments and Microtubules are involved.
What is the contractile elements of the cytoskeleton?
Microfilaments Microfilaments support the microvilli, they are involved in muscle contraction and other cell motility, endocytosis, and cell division... Anatomy & Physiology/fourth edition
Which organelles are not surounded by a membrane?
The ribosome is an organelle that is not surrounded by a membrane.
What membrane structural component is involved when intermediate filaments of the cytoskeleton are anchored in place?
hyptonic , glycoprotiens.
What supporting structure of the cell that is also involved in movement?
The cytoskeleton is the supporting structure of the cell that is also involved in movement.
What is the medical term meaning composed of a variety of cell types?
Microtubules is the medical term used when referring to a variety of cell types. Microtubules are very important in a number of cellular processes and are involved in maintaining the actual structure of cells.
In animal cell cytokenisis involved?
Cleavage furrow involves in cytokinesis.A belt of actine filaments forms the cleavage.
