The make up the majority of the cells in the epidermis. They synthesize keratin which are proteins that make up your hair, skin, and nails. They can also be found in other organs inside your body.

4.Merkel cells
Merkel cells are also known as <em>tactile cells</em>. They are the sensory receptor for touch. Merkel cells and the nerve fiber together are called the Merkel disc.

Your teacher gives you an unknown protist to classify that is currently inactive. The protist appears to have long lash-like
appendages protruding from its cell surface. Which kind of locomotion can we expect from this protist? (1 point)
The appendages of this protist will move in a dragging motion that actively pulls the protist forward.
O The appendages of this protist will move in a sweeping motion like oars to actively propel the protist forward.
The appendages of this protist will move back and forth like a wagging tail to actively propel the protist
forward
O The appendages of this protist are not functional, and the protist moves passively via environmental forces.
