What organelle is made up of microtubules and microfilaments?

Only the plasma membrane is made of phosophlipids as a semipermiable membrane. No other structures are made from it. There are, however, organelles which are surrounded by a plasma membrane. These include nucleus, mitochondria, peroxisomes, lysosomes and chloroplasts (in plants).

In which part of a cell is the microtubules located?

Microtubules are located in three locations in the cell. They are: 1. Cytoplasmic microtubles which, as the name suggests is located in the cytoplasm. 2. Axonemal microtubules that are located in cilia and flagella 3. Basal bodies, which are structures located at the base of a cilium and contains microtubules. Generally, microtubules originate from cytoplasmic organelles called centrioles. The region from which microtubules originate is called the microtubule organizing center.
