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

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.

Overall, do you think photosynthesis is endothermic or exothermic? Explain your answer.
kifflom [539]
The answer is endothermic.

Endothermic reactions are reactions that need energy to form a product.
Exothermic reactions are reactions that release energy.

Photosynthesis is a process in which energy of sunlight is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Hence, the energy of sunlight is needed for photosynthesis. So, photosynthesis is endothermic.
