1. Are primarily used for sensory purposes
2. Are composed of microtubules
3. Are enclosed in the cell wall
4. Rotate rather than whip

Microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments:
1. are ribonucleoproteins.
2. are part of cytoskeleton in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
3. are involved in many functions such as mechanical support, motility, maintenance of the shape of the eukaryotic cell.
4. are always deposited on cell surface and are never found in the cytoplasm.

2. Cilia are hair like cellular appendages.
3. Cilia contain an outer ring of nine doublet microtubules surrounding two singlet microtubules.
4. Microtubules of cilia are composed of tubulin.
