Module 6

The document outlines various cell modifications, including hemidesmosomes, tight junctions, and different types of cilia, which enhance cell attachment, communication, and absorption. It also describes the cell cycle, detailing mitosis and meiosis, which are processes of cell division resulting in identical or varied daughter cells. Key phases of the cell cycle include interphase, where cells grow and replicate their chromosomes.
