🗑
difference between cilia, flagella and microvilli   cylia: tiny hairlike projections on cell surfaces flagella: long whiplike extensions of the cell membrane of bacteria and sperm, - used for motility microvilli: tiny projections on epithelial cell surfaces - used to increase surface area for absorption  
🗑
plasma membrane structure   lipids and proteins.  
🗑
difference between lysosome, peroxisome and ribosome   lysosome: an organelle containing digestive enzymes e peroxisome:a small organelle that is present and contains the reducing enzyme catalase and usually some oxidases. ribosome: cytoplasmic organelle where proteins are made / synthesized.  
🗑
exocrine vs endocrine   endocrine glands: ductless and go directly into blood. exocrine glands: glands that have ducts - secretions go to body surface.

🗑
definition of sarcomere   the contractile unit of a myofibril; sarcomeres are repeating units, delimited by the Z bands, along the length of the myofibril.  
🗑
anaerobic glycolysis   breaking down glucose without oxygen  
🗑
shwann cells   type of cell found throughout the entire peripheral nervous system Schwann cells insulate (myelinate) individual nerve fibers (axons), which is necessary for sending appropriate electrical signals throughout the nervous system. a glia cell.  
🗑
