Specialised cells... 3.0 / 5 based on 1 rating ? ScienceCellsGCSEAQA Created by: Holly StearCreated on: 04-04-13 14:49 What is a specialised cell? Where the structure of the cell is adapted to the function it must carry out. 1 of 15 What is a leaf cell packed full of? So it can do what? PAcked full of Choloraplast, so can absorb plenty of light energy for photosynthesis. 2 of 15 What shape does a leaf cell have? Regular. 3 of 15 How is a leaf cell structured? Closely packed together with other leaf cells to absorb light energy effciently. 4 of 15 What is a sperm cell's function? To fertilize an egg cell (female gamete) 5 of 15 What is the tail used for in a sperm cell? To move the cell and reach the egg. 6 of 15 What does the middle section of a sperm cell contain? Mitochondria for energy. 7 of 15 What does the head contain? Genetic information, aswell as an enzyme to penetrate the egg cell itself. 8 of 15 How is a red blood cell adapted? To contain Haemoglobin to carry oxygen to cells. 9 of 15 Why is a red blood cell specialised? Becuase it has no nucleus so it can carry as much Haemoglobin as possible. 10 of 15 Why does a red blood cell have a thin cell membrane? To let oxygen diffuse more easily. 11 of 15 What does the shape of a red blood cell do? Increase the surface area to allow oxygen to absorbed more effiently. 12 of 15 What is the function of a root hair cell? To absorb water and mineral ions from the soil. 13 of 15 What makes a roo hair cell specialised? It has a long finger like shape with a very thin cell wall. 14 of 15 How has the adaptations of a root hair cell made it more effiencient? More surface area, allowing more water and mineral ions to be absorbed. 15 of 15
