15
Q

What do specialised cells do?

A

Carry out a particular function

16
Q

What are palisade leaf cells adapted for and how?

A

Photosynthesis - packed with chloroplasts at the top of the cell, talk shake means a large surface area and a thin shake means there are a lot of them at the top of the leaf

17
Q

What are guard cells adapted for and how?

A

Open and close pores - kidney shape which opens and closes the stomata, when the plant has lots of water they fill up and go turgid which makes the stomata open and gases are exchanged and they’re sensitive to lights and close at night

18
Q

What are red blood cells adapted for and how?

A

Carry oxygen - concave shape for a big surface area to absorb oxygen, packed with haemoglobin and they have no nucleus so there’s more room for haemoglobin

19
Q

What are sperm cells adapted for and how?

A

To get the make DNA to the female DNA - long tail, streamlined head to help it swim with a lot of mitochondria so it has enough energy to swim and they carry enzymes to digest the egg cell membrane

20
Q

What are egg cells adapted for and how?

A

To carry female DNA and to nourish the embryo - it had huge food reserves to feed the embryo and the membrane changes when it fuses with sperm to stop anymore getting in

21
Q

What do specialised cells form, in order from smallest to biggest?

A

Cell, tissue, organ and an organ system

22
Q

What is a tissue?

A

A group of similar cells that work together to carry out a particular function

23
Q

What is the function of an epithelial tissue?

A

It covers some parts of the body for example, the inside of the gut

24
Q

What is an organ?

A

A group of different tissues that work together to do a certain function

25
Q

The stomach is an organ, what tissues is the stomach made up of?

A

Muscular, glandular and epithelial tissues

26
Q

What is an organ system?

A

A group of organs working together to do a certain function

27
Q

What organs are in the digestive system?

A

Glands, stomach, liver, small intestine and the large intestine
