After about 14 days a zygote is called a

A

Embryo

21

22
Q

It’s called a baby only when

A

It’s been born

23
Q

What’s the tail specialised for

A

Helps sperm to swim to the egg cell for fertilisation

Goes side to side

24
Q

How is mitochondria an adaptation

A

Releases lots of energy helping sperm to swim

Where respiration occurs

25
Q

How is acrosome and adaptation

A

Contains enzymes to digest a way through the egg cell membrane

26
Q

How is the protective jelly layer an adaptation

A

Protects egg cells

Hardens after fertilisation

27
Q

How is cytoplasm an adaptation

A

Contains nutrients ready to supply the growin embryo

28

Cilia 
Mitochondria 
Cell membrane 
Nucleus
30
Q

What do cilia do?

A

Move things along the tube

They contain strands of a substance that can contract and cause a wavy movement

31
Q

Ciliated epithilial cell oviduct moves the egg cell from the ovary towards the

              Ribosomes 
Different/ no nucleus 
                 No nucleus membrane 
                  No mitochondria 
                  Has plasmid 
                  Had cell wall
34
Q

How is the shape of a root hair cell adapted to its function

A

It has a long thin root hair

Increased surface area for absorbing water and diffusion
