Centrioles Microtubules Outline Structure Function Component Cytoskeleton Eukaryotic

Centrioles, made of microtubules, are involved in organizing spindle fibers during cell division and are found at the base of cilia and flagella.

Centrioles, composed of microtubules, are part of the cytoskeleton and are involved in organizing spindle fibers during cell division. They are also found at the base of cilia and flagella.

Front Outline the structure and function of centrioles.
Back Centrioles - component of cytoskeleton in most eukaryotic cells
  • Composed of microtubules (9 sets of 3 microtubules)
  • Found at the base of cilia and flagella, thought to play a role in the positioning of them
  • Two associated centrioles form a centrosome which is involved in assembly and organisation of spindle fibers during cell div
