How might the shape of cheek cells relate to their function?

Question

-How might the shape of cheek cells relate to their function?
-What chemical substance do we obtain from potatoes when we eat them?

Answer 1

question 1:

cell type: lining cell (epithelium) e.g. from inside cheek
specialization: flattened shape, interlocking edges
function: to fit together to make a thin covering layer (to protect organism from bacteria)

Cheek cells do not move on their own, so you will not find the organelles that function for cell movement.

question 2:

Potatoes have a high carbohydrate content (they conatin mainly starch) and include also protein, minerals (particularly potassium), and vitamins, including vitamin C. Freshly harvested potatoes retain more vitamin C than stored potatoes.

New and fingerling potatoes offer the advantage that they contain fewer toxic chemicals. Such potatoes offer an excellent source of nutrition. Peeled, long-stored potatoes have less nutritional value, although they still have potassium and vitamin C.
