30
Q

What is differentiation

A

Process of cells becoming specialised

31
Q

How are embryonic cells differentiated

Certain genes are switched on or off/ expressed more so proportions organelles differ, shape of cell, and contents of cell changes

32
Q

A

Red blood cell

33
Q

What is the function of a erythrocyte

A

Carry oxygen to repairing cells

34
Q

Q

What are ciliated epithelium and what do they do

Q

Explain palisade cells

A

Within leaves for photosynthesis
Pack together closely
Large vacuole
Cytoskeleton threads/ motors proteins to move chloroplasts nearer to upper surface of leaf

60
Q

explain guard cells

A

found in the lower epidermis
controls opening and closing of stomata so air can enter

61
Q

explain root hair cells

A

found on outer layer of plant roots
hair like projections which increases SA for absorption of mineral ions and water
has special carrier proteins to actively transport ions

62
Q

name tissues found in plants

A

epidermal
vascular
meristematic

63
Q

what is epidermal tissue

A

consists of flattened cells
has waxy cuticle to reduce water loss

64
Q

what is vascular tissue

A

transport tissue made up of phloem and xylem

65
Q

what is meristematic tissue

A

tissue containing stem cells
found at the root/shoots and in cambium of vascular bundles

Q

what is an organ system

A

a number of organs working together to carry out an overall life function
