Q1 Biology M5 Cell Modifications Flashcards
What is a
process after cell division to produce newly formed cells?
Cell Modification
Three types of cell modifications:
- Apical modifications
- Basal modifications
- Lateral modifications
(Modification) These cells are responsible in carrying out different functions
such as secretion, absorption, and movement.
Apical modifications
Hair-like structures that are projected from most eukaryotic cells.
Cilia
They have a beating motion like waves. In microscopic organisms, used for locomotion.
Cilia
Attached at the apex of columnar epithelium
Cilia
Can be found in
different tissues such as respiratory epithelium which traps and removes
dirt. They are also found in fallopian tubes in which they are responsible for
moving the ovum to the uterus.
Cilia
Whip-like structures that are mainly used for locomotion of cells.
Flagella
Flagella on prokaryotic cells are composed of flagellin
while eukaryotic cells consist of?
microtubules
Undulatory Movement (360)
Flagella
Non-motile and absorbs materials
Microvili
Finger-like structure, extremely thin and short
Microvili
Mostly found in the intestine and kidney tubules and is attached to columnar epithelial cells
Microvili
Brush like structure and is rigid (stable)
Stereocilia
Attached to the plasma membrane of epithelial cells
Stereocilia
Immobile, for hearing and balance
Stereocilia
4 types of Apical Modification
Cilia, Flagella, Microvili, Stereocillia
It is an extracellular matrix (protein - from epithelial cells)
Basal Membrane
Composed of proteoglycans (collagen)
