Q

What is the cell membrane?

A

a barrier around the cell, containing all of the cell’s contents. It also lets some things go in and out through the processes of active and passive transport.

Q

What are centrosomes?

A

The part of the cell that serve as the microtubule organizing center of the cell

17
Q

How many centrosomes are there in one animal cell?

A

one

18
Q

How many different types of cells are there?

A

more than 200

19
Q

What are the four types that they are classified into?

A

Nerve cells, muscle cells, epithelial cells, and glandular cells

20
Q

What are nerve cells or neurons?

A

cells that are located throughout the brain. They help us with the five senses (taste, touch, smell, sight, sound), memory, and autonomous activities like breathing.

21
Q

What are muscle cells?

A

cells that help move the body

22
Q

What are epithelial cells?

A

cells that help protect the body and provide a covering

23
Q

What are glandular cells?

A

cells that secrete helpful chemicals into various parts of the body. One example is the type of cell located in the armpits to secrete sweat, which relieves the body of harmful chemicals.
