orange
47
Microtubules form _____, which are hairlike structures that wave, moving secretions such as mucus on the cell surfaces
cilia
48
a disorder that affects intermediate filaments in nerve cells. a rare "orphan genetic disorder" for which there is no cure, no treatment, no clinical trial and no ongoing research.

64
cell cycle is divided into:
interphase and mitosis
65
