What is a cell?
|
The smallest functioning unit of a living organism.
|
|
Where do all cells come from?
|
Other cells
|
|
What is the key to health?
|
The key is good nutrition. Making sure the cells have the raw material they need to maintain a healthy chemical balance that keeps them alive.
|
|
What is the Plasma Membrane of a cell and what is its function?
|
A bilayer containing lipids, proteins,and carbohydrates.
Funtion:Isolation; protection;sensitivity;support; controls entry and exit of materials. |

What are Microvilli?
|
Membrane extensions that contain micro filaments.
Function: increase surface area of the cell to facilitate absorption of extracellualr materials. |
|
What are Cilia?
|
Cilia are long extensions of microtubule which help in the movement of material over the cell surface. Found in nose and throat.
|
|
Flagellum
|
Propels a cell through fluid.
|
|
Waht is CYTOPLASM?
|
Cytoplasm is the cell contents.
|
|
