Neither. They're composed of cells though, and given that prokaryotic cells are generally single-celled organisms like bacteria, do you think it's more likely that hair follicles are composed of prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells?

Movement of prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?

what exactly is the question? The difference between the two is simply that euk. contain a nucleus (Well... flagella is different in both types... eukarya has a helicoidal movement that it's not in prokaryotic cells...)

Is hair follicle dead?

No. Hair is dead. Hair follicles are the only alive part of the hair. They're what grow and contribute their dead cells to hair growth.


Where do the cells divide to produce hair?

Hair cells divide in the hair follicle, which is located in the outer layer of the skin called the epidermis. The hair follicle contains stem cells that divide and differentiate to produce new hair cells, eventually forming the hair shaft that grows out of the skin.


What is the function of the hair follicle in the growth and maintenance of hair?

The hair follicle is responsible for producing and maintaining hair. It is where hair growth begins, with cells dividing and pushing up through the follicle to form the hair shaft. The follicle also contains sebaceous glands that produce oil to keep the hair moisturized and healthy. Additionally, the follicle plays a role in anchoring the hair to the scalp.


How is a hair formed?

Each hair develops from a group of epidermal cells at the base of a tubelike depression called a hair follicle, which extends from the surface into the dermis and contains the hair root. The epidermal cells at the base are nourished from dermal blood vesssels in a projection of connective tissue at the deep end of the follicle. As these epidermal cells divide and grow, older cells are pushed toward the surface. The cells that move upward and away from the utrient supply become keratinized and die. Their remains constitute the structure of a developing hair shaft that extends away from the skin.

A portion of the hair where mitosis takes place?

The portion of hair where mitosis occurs is the hair bulb, which is located at the base of the hair follicle. This is where new hair cells are produced, and as they multiply and differentiate, they push older cells up the follicle, forming the hair shaft.


Does the hair bulb produce hair?

Only the cells of the hair bulb are alive to understand this more here is how the hair bulb if formed. Hair follicles forms a cluster of cells in the upper layer of the skin. These cluster of cells are called the primitive hair germ, which needs nourishment to grow into a developed hair follicle. To get nourishment it works all the way down into the lower layer of the skin. As it does, the cell cluster pulls the upper layer down with it creating a follicle called the root Sheath, out of which the hair will grow. The shape of this follicle then determines the shape of the hair shaft as it grows from the follicle.


Is hair produced by hair bulb?

Yes, hair is produced by the hair bulb, which is a structure located at the base of the hair follicle. Cells in the hair bulb divide and differentiate to form the hair shaft, which eventually grows out of the follicle.


What is a hair follicle?

Cells at the end of a hair. They allow the hair to grow, just like the roots of a tree.
