specialised cells

Cards (16)

  • bacteria cell has chromosomal DNA that floats around cytoplasm
  • chromosomal DNA is a long and circular organelle that controls cell
  • Bacteria had a cell membrane
  • Bacteria cell has a plasmid- a small loop of extra DNA: drug resistance.
  • Plasmid can be passed around bacteria
  • egg cells and sperm cells are specialised cells that have haploid nucleus
  • Egg cell carries female DNA and contains nutrients to feed embryo
  • After fertilised, egg will immediately change structure to semi permeable membrane so no other sperm gets in
  • Sperm cells job is to transport male DNA to female egg
  • sperm has lots of mitochondria for energy
  • digestive enzymes in acrosomes to break down the egg
  • cilliated epithial cells line air ways and have hair
  • cilliated epithelial have cilia to move substances
  • ciliated epitheal is mostly around air ways to move mucus up the throat however also line organs
  • phloem tubes transport food substances like sucrose and amino acids made in the leaves to the rest of plant
  • xylem tubes are dead and take water only upwards strengthened with lignin and carry mineral oils from roots to leaves
