Microfilaments
Microfilaments are fine, thread-like protein fibers, 3-6 nm in diameter. They are composed predominantly of a contractile protein called actin, which is the most abundant cellular protein. Microfilaments' association with the protein myosin is responsible for muscle contraction. Microfilaments can also carry out cellular movements including gliding, contraction, and cytokinesis.
Microtubules
Microtubules are cylindrical tubes, 20-25 nm in diameter. They are composed of subunits of the protein tubulin--these subunits are termed alpha and beta. Microtubules act as a scaffold to determine cell shape, and provide a set of "tracks" for cell organelles and vesicles to move on. Microtubules also form the spindle fibers for separating chromosomes during mitosis. When arranged in geometric patterns inside flagella and cilia, they are used for locomotion.

Answer:
No, eukaryotic cells cannot live without mitochondria and chloroplasts; they provide the energy cells need to survive.
Explanation:
It is not possible today for a eukaryotic cell to live without mitochondria or chloroplasts since these are the organelles responsible for providing the energy cells need to survive.
Mitochondria are the organelles that synthesize energy in cells. Chloroplasts are the organelles that contain chlorophyll and where photosynthesis takes place in a cell.
