Cards (3)

  • how are sperm cell specialised?
    streamlined head long tail for swimming. many mitochondria release energy for movement. top of head( acrosome ) has digestive enzymes break down outer layers of membrane of egg cell
  • How are nerve cells specialised?
    axon long so impulses able carried long distances. dendrites able form connections with other nerve cells. nerve endings have mitochondria release energy make neurotransmitters so impulse pass from one cell to another.
  • How are muscle cells specialised?
    special proteins slide over each other so muscle can contract. lots of mitochondria to release energy for contraction. store glycogen that used in respiration by mitochondria
