### cell | gamete | ovum | egg:

Nit
* are a measure of brightness
  - actually clusters of tiny white sacs that contain eggs
  - always oval-shaped
  - body lice eggs
  - eggs from the adult lice and are whitish and are firmly attached to hairs
  - grayish-white, always oval shaped, and are glued at an angle to the side of the hair shaft
  - greyish white in colour and are oval in shape
* are lice eggs on the hair
  - light in color, described in different sources as pearly, grey, whitish, and silvery
  - little white eggs that lice cement to the hair
  - louse eggs
  - more likely to contain a live embryo if they are close to the scalp
  - off-white in color and about the size and shape of the head of a straight pin
  - often the first sign of a head lice infestation
* are oval eggs that are cream-colored and are roughly the size of a pin
  - shaped and most often can been seen in the hair behind the ears or near the neck
* are oval, usually grayish-white and are attached at an angle to the hair shaft
  - whitish eggs attached to shafts of hair
  - shiny white and are about half the size of a pinhead
  - small, oval-shaped, yellowish eggs
  - smaller than lice and can be white to yellowish-brown in color
* are the eggs of the head lice
  - head lice eggs
  - their eggs
  - tiny egg-shaped deposits which are firmly attached to the hair
* are tiny, approximately the size of a period at the end of a sentence
  - grayish-white oval eggs attached to the hairshafts
  - yellowish-white oval eggs attached to the hair shafts
* are very difficult to remove from hair while drandruff is easy to remove
  - small round eggs that stick to hair an inch or so from the scalp
  - tenacious and difficult to remove from hair shafts
  - tiny eggs, half the size of a pinhead, and oval in shape

* firmly attach to the hair shafts, close to the scalp.
* generally cluster close to the skin but they can also appear on individual hair strands.
* hatch in about one week, and the females are capable of laying eggs less than two weeks later.
* includes cell membranes
  - chromosomes
  - corpi
  - cytoskeletons
  - lobes
  - nuclei
  - plasma membranes
  - sections
  - vacuoles
  - yolks
* light unit
* look like small transparent grains of rice.
* make lice.
* range in color from yellow to gray
* typically hatch eight or nine days after they're laid.

### cell | gamete | ovum | egg | nit:

Dead nit
* are silvery-coloured and easier to see.
* remain attached to the hair shaft until they are combed out or the hair falls out.

Older egg
* are much easier to peel than fresh eggs.
* masses bleach out from weathering.
* tend to be easier to peel than fresh eggs
  - less likely to develop into viable embryos once fertilized

Organic egg
* are also another part of organic farming
  - one of the best dietary sources
* have far lower levels of saturated fat than non organic eggs.
