  • red blood cells
    travel in the plasma and carry oxygen from the lungs to the cells
  • red blood cells
    they are bi-concave shaped, providing a large surface area for diffusion
  • red blood cell
    dont contain a nucleus, more room for haemoglobin which combines with the oxygen
  • root hair cells
    they extend into the soil to absorb water and minerals for the plant
  • root hair cells
    long and thin, so have a large surface area
  • root hair cells
    contain many mitochondria for active transport in the cell
  • root hair cells
    contain a sugary vacuole which allows water to move into the cell
  • root hair cells
    they dont have chloroplasts as there are no light underground
  • palisade leaf cells
    absorb lots of light for photosynthesis
  • palisade leaf cells
    rectangular cells for them to tightly packed to get as much light as possible
  • palisade leaf cells
    contain many chloroplasts which can flow to the top of the cells to absorb the light as it hits the leaf
