A type of filamentous protein polymer found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, composed of the protein tubulin, and occurs singly or in pairs, triplets, or bundles Microtubules help cells to maintain there shape They are part of the cytosceleton and are involved in cell movement and cell structure
Thin tubules found in the cytoplasm of a cell Microtubules are made up of tubulin subunits Microtubules function both as a cytoskeletal support and for transport within the cell Motor-molecules, associated with the microtubules, are able to ferry such things as organelles along the microtubules
Hollow cylinders made of the protein tubulin that form, among other things, the spindle fibers
Type of filament in eukaryotic cells composed of units of the protein tubulin Among other functions, it is the primary structural component of the eukaryotic flagellum
Small cylinders, about 25 nm in diameter, made of tubulin proteins and present in the cytoplasmic matrix and flagella of eucaryotic cells; they are involved in cell structure and movement (See 78)
