Specialised Cells

Question 1

Ciliated cell adaptation

Answer 1

Fine hairs, the hairs on the cell are able to move to allow mucus to be moved

Question 2

Ciliated cells location

Answer 2

Respiratory system

Question 3

Ciliated cells function

Answer 3

Movement of mucus in the trachea and bronchi

Question 4

Root hair cell adaptation

Answer 4

Long ‘finger like’ section with very thin wall, which gives a large surface area and is easier to absorb water and nutrients

Question 5

Root hair cell location

Answer 5

Roots of a plant

Question 6

Root hair cell function

Answer 6

Absorbs water and mineral ions from the soil

Question 7

Palisade mesophyll cell adaptation

Answer 7

Lots of chloroplasts help the plant to carry out lots of photosynthesis

Question 8

Palisade mesophyll location

Answer 8

Upoer sise of plant leaves

Question 9

Palisade mesophyll function

Answer 9

Carry out photosynthesis

Question 10

Red blood cell adaptation

Answer 10

Shape increases the surface area to allow more oxygen to be absorbed efficiently, no nucleus so whole cell is full of haemoglobin

Question 11

Res blood cell location

Answer 11

In the blood

Question 12

Res blood cell function

Answer 12

Contain haemoglobin to carry oxygen to the cells

Question 13

Sperm cells adaptation

Answer 13

The flagellum helps the cell to swim towards the egg, the mitochondria provide energy

Question 14

Sperm cell location

Answer 14

Testes

Question 15

Sperm cell function

Answer 15

Reproduction

Question 16

Egg cell adaptation

Answer 16

The layer of jelly protects the cell as it travels along the oviduct, and the energy store supports development of the zygote until implantation in the uterus wall

Question 17

Egg cell location

Answer 17

Ovaries

Question 18

Egg cell function

Answer 18

Reproduction
