Palisade mesophyll cells

A

Photosynthesis

18
Q

Neurons

A

Conduct electric impulses ( has extensions and branches to reach other neurons)

19
Q

Red blood cells

A

Transport oxygen, are biconcave to hold more oxygen, haemoglobin in the cytoplasm, no nucleus for more surface area, small to fit through capillaries

20
Q

Sperm cell

A

Is the male reproductive cell, has a tail to swim to the egg cell, head contains nucleus and acrosome (digestive enzymes to help sperm penetrate egg), mid piece contains many mitochondria for extra energy

21
Q

Egg cell

A

Female reproductive cell, has jelly coating, large cytoplasm food storage for growing embryo
Cell membrane changes when the sperm penetrates so no more sperm can enter
