Specialised Cells 31/09/24 LO: Can you name “specialised” cells? CQ: Can you explain how they are adapted to their function? Starter: Answer the questions below Name the organs in order that form the digestive system? What life process is involved with the locomotor organ system? What is the function of the vacuole in plant cells? What happens inside the mitochondria in cells? Why are these shoes all different? Definition Specialised Cell - A cell that is adapted for a specific function. Red Blood Cells - Carry oxygen - Bi-concave shape - No nucleus Sperm Cells - Fertilise egg cells - Flagellum (tail) for movement Ciliated Epithelial Cell - Move mucus out of the body - Many mitochondria - Finger like structures to waft mucus Egg Cell or Ovum - Fuse with the sperm to form a zygote - Slime coat to protect the cell - Cell membrane hardens after fertilisation Palisade Cell - Carry out photosynthesis - Packed with chloroplasts Root Hair Cell - Absorb water - Elongated shape to increase surface area Nerve Cell - Carry impulses through the body - Long axon to send impulses quickly Step 1 Remain seated in silence Pack away all of your equipment Check for rubbish Ready to Leave Step 2 Return your books Stand behind your chair in silence Prepare to leave in silence Ready to Leave
