Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polarized cells have distinct apical and basolateral sides, meaning that different molecular components are found on each side of the cell. This allows for specialized functions and interactions with other cells in tissues and organs. A polar flagellum is not necessarily indicative of a polarized cell, and random orientation within a tissue or organ does not demonstrate polarity.
