What cell has longer projections that move with a whiplike motion?

Sperm cells have longer projections called flagella that allow them to move with a whiplike motion, aiding in their mobility and ability to reach the egg for fertilization.


What are the six steps to cloning an organism?

Isolate the donor organism's DNA. Insert the DNA into a vector, such as a plasmid. Introduce the vector into a host organism, such as bacteria. Allow the host organism to replicate the inserted DNA. Identify and separate the host organisms containing the cloned DNA. Further culture and characterize the cloned organism.


What bony projections is smooth in order to articulate with another bone?

Articular surfaces of bones are smooth bony projections that are designed to articulate with another bone, forming a joint. These surfaces are covered with cartilage to reduce friction and allow for smooth movement. Examples include the femoral head articulating with the acetabulum in the hip joint.


What are the steps in cloning DNA?

Isolate the DNA sequence to be cloned. Insert the DNA into a vector. Introduce the vector into a host organism. Allow the host organism to replicate the DNA. Isolate the cloned DNA from the host organism for further study or manipulation.


What is the name of projections on the inner surface of the small intestine?

The minute structures that project from the inner walls of the small intestine are called villi. They help in the digestion process by continuously pushing digested particles in one direction. Their function is to absorb nutrients. These villi effectively increase the surface area of the intestine so more nutrients can be absorbed.

What projections allow the cell to move or moves substances along the surface of the cell?

Projections that allow the cell to move or to move substances along the surface of the cell are called cilia and flagella. Flagella is a single long hair that allows the cell to swim. Cilia are several projections used for movement across the cell surface.

What does a laboratory probe do?

Laboratory probes allow you to examine the inside of the dissected organism further than just the surface.They also allow you to remove the internal organs of the dissected organism if needed.


Why do cells reproduce in a growing organism?

Cells grow in order for the organism to grow and reproduce. Cells only grow to replace other cells that die off and allow for the continued existence of the organism.


Foods that allow microorganisms to grow are called parasites.?

No. A parasite is an organism that lives at the expense to and causes harm to another organism. Foods that allow microorganisms to grow are media (singular medium).No. If the foods might allow pathogenic microorganisms to grow, they are called potentially hazardous.
