What else can I help you with?
What two movement organelles are missing in a cheek cell?
I think they're called flagella and cilia. The flagella work like propellers and the cilia are little moving hairs that let a cell crawl.
Describe how cilia work?
cilia "beat" in a rythmatic motion to force mucus and substances away from the lungs.
How does cilia work?
Traps microbes and sends them out of the body
How do nostrils and cilia work together?
because they have little hair in the nose.
Why does tobacco smoke imobilize cilia?
The heat from smoking is too high for the cilia to live. The heat actually burns the cilia and kills the cell.
What would happen to a mollusk if the cilia on its gills did not work?
The ciliary tracts of gills move strands of mucous with food particles attached to the mouth. From there, the food is moved by cilia to the stomach. So, if the cilia on the gills didn't work, the mollusk would not receive enough (if any) food. It would die of starvation.
What effect does tar have on the cillia?
The tar from the cigarettes sticks to the cilia, the tiny hair-like structures that line the airways in the lungs. The cilia typically acts as little brooms that sweep out harmful dirt - but when cigarette is smoked, the cilia can't work properly because the tar sticks to the cilia and is therefore covered
What catchs debris in the bronchi?
The catch debris in the bronchi are cilia, which are tiny hair-like structures lining the respiratory tract. They work in conjunction with mucus produced by goblet cells to trap inhaled particles, such as dust and microbes. The coordinated movement of cilia helps to propel the mucus upward toward the throat, where it can be swallowed or expelled, thereby keeping the airways clear.
What are longer wip-like structures use for movement?
Longer work-in-progress (WIP)-like structures, such as flagella and cilia, are used by various organisms for movement. Flagella are long, whip-like appendages that propel cells, such as sperm, through liquid environments, while cilia are shorter, hair-like structures that can either move the entire cell or create currents to move fluid over the cell surface. Both structures utilize a coordinated beating motion, powered by motor proteins, to facilitate locomotion or the movement of substances across cell surfaces.
Hairlike structure with the capacity of movement?
Ah, darling, you're talking about cilia! These tiny hair-like structures can be found on cells and have the fabulous ability to move and groove. They help with things like moving mucus along in your respiratory system or helping single-celled organisms get around.
Do chordates have specialized tissue?
No, protists do not have specialized tissues.
How do pseudopods work?
Pseudopods are temporary protrusions of the cell membrane in certain types of cells, such as amoebas. They are used for movement and feeding by extending and contracting to propel the cell forward and capture prey. The cytoplasmic streaming within the pseudopods allows for coordinated movement.
