Amoeboid movement
Videos
Amoeboid movement is the most typical mode of locomotion in adherent eukaryotic cells. It is a crawling-like type of movement accomplished by protrusion of cytoplasm of the cell involving the formatio

Microtubule
Videos
Microtubules are biopolymers of tubulin that form part of the cytoskeleton to provide structure and shape to a eukaryotic cell. Microtubules can be as long as 50 micrometres, as wide as 23 to 27 nm an
Components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton include: nuclei (blue), microtubules (green), and actin filaments (red).

Tubulin Infographic
Microtubules are one of the cytoskeletal filament systems in eukaryotic cells. The microtubule cytoskeleton is involved in the transport of material within cells, carried out by motor proteins that move on the surface of the microtubule.
