    They are thick, strong and made up of thousands of tubulin which are spiral in shape.

    Explanation:

    In eukaryotic cells, they have microtubules which are fibres serving as tracks for cell to cell transport and regulate the shape of a cell.

    Microtubules are different from other cytoskeletal filaments because they possesses a cylindrical shape with the tube having a larger diameter of 20-25 nm as compared to microfilament that have a diameter of 3-6 nm.

    Microtubules are made of subunits of proteins called tubulin named alpha and beta that is not present in other cytoskeletal filaments.
