introduction

Question 1

RBC function/adaptations

Answer 1

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the body and carries carbon dioxide from the body to them for humans to exhale. They have a biconcave shaped not have a nucleus for a larger surface area for oxygen to pass through and contain haemoglobin which carry oxygen. ( something similar)

Question 2

Nerve cells functions/adaptations

Answer 2

Nerve cells carry nerve impulses around the body to tell the muscles to move. They are long and thin and have connections at each end so that they can join other cells
.

Question 3

Egg cell

Answer 3

Egg cells are there to ensure that fertilisation happens. They have a jelly like layer on the exterior and cytoplasm that contains fat stores.

Question 4

sperm cell

Answer 4

The sperm cell carries genetic material. It has a long tail for movement to the egg and has lots of mitochondria to release energy for sperm cell to move the tail. They have enzymes on their heads to help them enter the egg.

Question 5

root hair cell

Answer 5

the root hair cells are located underground and absorb water and nutrients from the ground. They have an elongated shape meaning there is more surface area for the diffusion of water and minerals into the cell.

Question 6

palisade cells

Answer 6

Palisade cells carry out photosynthesis and produce glucose for the plant. They contain a lot of chloroplasts to absorb as much sunlight creating as much energy or glucose as it can and have a large surface area due to it being tall and long to maximise absorption of light.

Question 7

ciliated cell

Answer 7

ciliated cells move mucus with trapped dust and microorganisms away from the lungs. They have tiny hairs called cilia to waft the mucus along the air ways.
