Answer:

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.

Alenkinab [10]
The one advantage of using DNS assay to detect maltose production is the formation of a soluble and colored product compound. 
The reaction that occurs between maltose and DNS in the assay is a redox reaction (reduction and oxidation) such that maltose gets oxidized and becomes Maltonic Acid while the DNS gets reduced into reduced DNS. The  intensity of orange/brown /red color of reduced DNS is proportionately related to the amount of Maltose in the solution.

Answer:Dehydration

Explanation:

Dark urine is usually indicative of dehydration; but there could be more reasons responsible for it. Ideally, when you eat or drink something, it goes through your digestive tract, circulatory system and then to your kidney. Kidneys are where everything is filtered and urine is produced. Urine contains the harmful toxins which need to be eliminated from the body. Darker urine is more concentrated. It is indicative of the fact that unnecessary toxins and wastes are circulating in your body which could mess with your health. This, again, depends on how much fluids you drink throughout the day. But there could be many other reasons responsible for the same.
