The skin inside your mouth is composed of many cell layers that serve to protect your body by forming a barrier between the space within your mouth and the rest of the body. Because protection is a tough job, the skin is constantly making new cheek cells to replace those that fall of from the surface.
What else can I help you with?
Are cheek cells heterotrophic?
No, cheek cells are not heterotrophic. Cheek cells are eukaryotic cells that make up the lining of the inner cheek and are a type of human body cell that undergoes cellular respiration to generate energy from food molecules. Heterotrophic organisms are those that rely on external sources of organic carbon for their nutrition, unlike cheek cells which are part of the human body and do not require external organic carbon to survive.
Comparison between cheek cell to plant cell?
Cheek cells are eukaryotic cells found in animals, whereas plant cells are eukaryotic cells found in plants. Cheek cells do not have a cell wall but have cell membranes, while plant cells have cell walls made of cellulose in addition to cell membranes. Cheek cells do not contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while plant cells do contain chloroplasts.
How does the size of the cheek cell relate to its functions?
The size of a cheek cell does not directly relate to its functions. Cheek cells are generally small in size and can perform their functions effectively regardless of their size. The key factor influencing cell function is its internal structures and organelles, rather than its overall size.
Which is the main reason cells are replaced in the body?
because if they didnt get replaced then you would lack the cells. and you would die. i think.
What is the name of the hole in cheek when you laugh?
Dimple . I think that's what you meant.
What specialized organelle would you expect to find in a cheek cell?
Ribosomes are the most numerous organelles in a standard cheek cell. They are found throughout the cell, and also in other organelles. I'm fairly certain it is the ribosome as well. Ribosomes cover the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the nuclear envelope. Many ribosomes float around in the cytosol, also. It is a toss up between ribosomes and mitochondria, simply because my biology text book mentioned that some cells may have thousands of mitochondria. I do, however, believe ribosomes are the most common in cells. Actually i think the answer is lysosomes, since the mouth is constantly breaking down the food we eat, the lysosome produces enzymes to aid in that process. I am currently in biology class and have this question and my professor said he would give us a hint that it wasn't lysosomes. Then we got into a discussion about it, and it is indeed ribosomes. Ribosomes are located of the rough enoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope like stated above, but are also located all over the body.
Where will Harry Styles kiss a girl?
i think on the cheek and on the lips
How old is cell?
Cells are the basic unit of life and can vary in age depending on their location and function within an organism. For example, skin cells typically live for a few weeks, while nerve cells can last for a person's entire lifetime. In general, cells are constantly being regenerated and replaced in order to maintain the health and function of an organism.
Why do you bite your cheek?
Because when you do that you think there is food in your mouth then you bite down
Why are cheek cells eukaryotic?
Because ALL cells in an animal with different tissue types are eukaryotic. "Eu" means "good" in Greek and so was chosen as the name for OUR kind of creatures - creatures whose cells have a nuclear membrane insulating the DNA in the core of a cell from the outer areas where each cell handles digestion of materials from the outside of the cell and builds the proteins and enzymes that it uses to do its job. So any cell that is a part of you - like your cheek - is eukaryotic because you are a eukaryote.
A sentence of constantly?
The professor was constantly badgering us to think outside the box.
What is a good age to be kissed on the cheek?
uhm....well, it is cute to see little kids get kissed on the cheek....i dont really think there is a certain age for it...lmao.....
