What are microtubules made of?

Microtubules are made of protein subunits called tubulin. These tubulin subunits polymerize to form long, hollow tubular structures that are essential for various cellular processes such as cell division, cell shape maintenance, and intracellular transport.


Microtubules into tubulin units?

Microtubules are made up of repeating units called tubulin. Tubulin is a protein that assembles into a structure that forms the walls of the microtubule, providing structure and stability. The tubulin units polymerize to form the long, hollow structures of microtubules essential for various cellular processes like cell division and intracellular transport.


Tubulin is to microtubules as actin is to what?

Tubulin is to microtubules as actin is to microfilaments. Both tubulin and actin are protein subunits that polymerize to form structural components of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells. While tubulin assembles into hollow tubes called microtubules, actin polymerizes to form thin filaments known as microfilaments, which play crucial roles in cell shape, motility, and division.


What does the Microtubules do in an animals cell?

One function of microtubules is being conveyor belts inside of Cells. They move vesicles, granules, organelles and chromosomes via special attachment proteins. See MTOC - micro-tubule organizing centers. They also serve a cytoskeletal role. Structurally, they are linear polymers of tubulin which is a globular protein. These linear polymers are called protofilaments. The tubulin molecules are bead like structures. They form heterodimers of alpha and beta tubulin. A protofilament is a linear row of tubulin dimers.
