The intestinal cells are bound together by tight junctions.

Basal bodies are most closely associated with which of the following cell components?

cilia

basal bodies are most closely associated with which cell component

embedded in the plasma membrane, functioning in the transport of molecules into the cell

what is the most important difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

eukaryotic cells are compartmentalized which allows for specialization
