Specialized animal cells
Cells that have
adaptations
which help them carry out a particular
function
View source
Differentiation
When
cells
become
specialized
View source
Sperm cells
Long tail to swim to
ovum
Packed with
mitochondria
to provide
energy
for swimming
Contain
enzymes
to digest
outer
layer of ovum
View source
Fertilization
The process where the genetic information of the
ovum
and
sperm
combine
View source
Muscle cells
Contain
protein fibers
that can
contract
to shorten the cell
Packed with
mitochondria
to provide
energy
for contraction
View source
Muscle cells
work together to form
muscle tissue
View source
What are sperm cells specialised for?
reproduction
What are nerve cells specialised for?
rapid signalling
What are muscle cells specialised for?
contraction
What are root hair cells specialised for?
absorbing
water
and
minerals
what are phloem and xylem cells specialised for?
transporting
substances
When does most differentiaiton occur?
as an
organism develops
What are undifferentiated cells called?
stem
cells
when do plant cells differintiate?
dont ever
lose
this
ability
In most animal cells the ability to
differntiate
is then
lost
at an early stage.
