Question

unlike microtubules, which operate in the cilia and flagella, what is the role of microfilaments in eukaryotic cells?

Answer 1

A cilium is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Cilia are slender protuberances that project from the much larger cell body. There are two types of cilia: motile cilia and nonmotile, or primary, cilia, which typically serve as sensory organelles.

Answer 2

Answer:

The microfilaments in a eukaryotic cell helps in maintain the shape and structure of the cell.

Explanation:  

These microfilaments that are formed majorly comprising of the actin filaments are the backbone of the cell that maintains the shape and structure of any cell.

The microfilaments also play a major role in the case of cell division (mitosis and meiosis) which helps the cell to be divided into 2 equal daughter cells.
