Examples of Cell that undergo Modification
Ciliated cell
A cell with small, hair-like structures that waft to create mucus so dust does not get lungs
Nerves
A glistening white cordlike bundle of fibers, surrounded by a sheath, that connects the nervous system with other parts of the body.
The nerves conduct impulses toward or away from the central nervous mechanism.
Sperm Cell
contains the father's DNA ; male gametes
Egg Cell
contains the mother's DNA ; female gametes
23 chromosomes
Spermatids and ova have:
Phagocytosis
Cell eating
Red blood cell
Blood cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to the body cells.
white blood cells
fight infection
Root hair
increase surface area for absorption
Chloroplast
absorb sunlight and conjunction with water and carbon dioxide to produce food.
