Cellularmodifications are specialized processes or modifications re-acquired by the cell after cell division where the newly formed cells are structurally modified so they can perform their function efficiently and effectively.
Microvilli is a plasma membrane cell that increases the surface area of eukaryotic cells. It is characterized by folded fingerlike projections and has a dense bundle of cross-linked actin filaments which serves as its structural core
Cilia are tail like projections found in eukaryotic cells. It helps in preventing accumulation of dust in breathing tubes by creating a thin layer of mucous along tubes.
Motile cilia are used to move cells throughout certain parts of the organisms
non-motile cilia are usually found in the eyes and the nose to trap dirt and other objects.
Stereo cilia are different from cilia they are more closely related to microvilli.
It has distinctive characteristics, their length and lack of motility. --are basically an apical modification of the cell.
-are mechano-sensing organelles of hair cells
Muscle is for contraction and when this contraction is coordinated, it results in movement. The muscle cell is generally elongated and elastic containing mitochondria in large number.
roothaircells are modified epidermal cells of the roots. These are tubular extensions of individual epidermal cells which can be found in a zone just behind the tips of young, growing roots.
Trichomes are cellular or multicellular hair-like outgrowths of the epidermis. They occur frequently on stems, leaves, and reproductive organs.
guard cells which are paired, sausage shape cell flanking stoma, a mouth-shaped epidermal opening. Guard cells, unlike other epidermal cells, contain chloroplast.
