Red
blood
cell
: to transport oxygen around the blood
Root hair cell
: to absorb water and minerals from the soil
Palisade Cell
: To carry out photosynthesis and make food (glucose) for the plant
Sperm Cell
: to travel to and fuse with an egg cell for fertilisation
Muscle cell
: help the body move
Nerve cell
: To carry nerve impulses around the body
Ciliated Epithelial cell
: to move mucus with trapped dust and microorganisms away from the lungs
White blood cell
: to fight pathogens which cause diease
Egg cell
: to be fertilised by the sperm cell
Chloroplast
: found only in
plant
cells, contain a pigment that absorbs sunlight
Mitochondria
: usually lots in the cell, provide the cell with energy (
animal and plant
)
Cytoplasm
: jelly-like substance, chemical reactions happen (
plant and animal
)
nucleus
: contains genetic material and controls cell activities (
animal and plant
)
Cell wall
: provides support and protection (
plant
)
Vacuole
: handle and get rid of waste products ( one big one in
plant cell
)
Lysosome
: digestive system of a cell (
animal
)
Cell
membrane: controls the substance to enter or leave the cell (
plant and animal
)
Cytoplasm
: holds the components and protects them from damage (
plant and animal
)
vesicle
: storage and transport (
animal and plant
)
Chloroplast
: produce energy through photosynthesis, and oxygen release process (
plant
)
cytoskeleton
: helps cells maintain their shape and internal organization (
animal and plant
)
mitochondria
: produce energy for the cell (
animal and plant
)
free ribosomes
: synthesis protein (animal and plant)
Golgi
apparatus: to process, modify, and package proteins and lipids produced by the cell (
animal
and
plant
(
Endoplasmic reticulum
: produce protein, lipids, detox, calcium storage
