Understanding Geologic Time<span>
Introduction</span>

Geologists at the American Museum of Natural History study rock layers and the plant and animal fossils found in them. They use radiometric dating to help establish the age of rocks. In doing so, they also establish the age of the fossils found in rocks. From the evidence they gather, geologists can piece together the physical history of the Earth.

quester [9]

Answer: The appropriate description is matched against the components of the cell below.

1) Cilia: Short, hairlike cellular extensions

2) Ribosome: Site for protein synthesis

3) Chromatid: Copy of a chromosome

4) Cristae: Folds of the inner mitochondrial membrane

5) Lysosomes: Vesicles with powerful digestive enzymes.

6) Smooth ER: Stores calcium ions in muscle cells

7) Plasma membrane: Composed of phospholipid bilayer

8) Cytosol: Intracellular fluid

9) Cytoplasm: Intracellular fluid and organelles

10) Centriole: Involved in mitosis.

Explanation:

A cell is simply defined as the structural and functional unit of an organism. It is made up of highly organized physical structures called intracellular organelles. These organelles includes:

• Ribosome

• Lysosomes

• Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum

• Plasma membrane

A type of cellular motion called ciliary movement, is a whip-like movement of CILIA on the surface of cells takes place in the respiratory airways of human.

The cytoplasm is filled with both intracellular fluid and organelles while the cytosol contains mainly dissolved proteins, electrolyte and glucose ( intracellular fluid).
