Palisade mesophyll cells in leave

Structure: Palisade cells are part of the cells that collectively make up the mesophyll tissue in plant
leaves. This layer (palisade layer) is located beneath the upper epidermis and is composed of cells
that are in shape. The chloroplasts in these cells absorb a major portion of the light energy used by
the leaves.

Function: their main function is the absorption of light so that photosynthesis can take place. The
palisade mesophyll consists of chloroplasts with chlorophyll that absorb the light energy.

Sperm and egg cells in reproduction

Structure: The head contains the genetic material for fertilisation in a haploid nucleus. The acrosome
in the head contains enzymes so that a sperm can penetrate an egg. The tail enables the sperm to
swim. Sperm are the smallest cells in the body and millions of them are made.

Function: The head contains the genetic material for fertilisation in a haploid nucleus. The acrosome
in the head contains enzymes so that a sperm can penetrate an egg. The middle piece is packed with
mitochondria to release energy needed to swim and fertilise the egg. The tail enables the sperm to
swim. Sperm are the smallest cells in the body and millions of them are made. Eggs are one of the
biggest cells in the body and only a few are made.

White blood cells

Structure: is a cellular component of the blood that lacks haemoglobin, has a nucleus.

Function: It defends the body against disease and infection.

Red blood cells

Structure: Red blood cells are found in the blood. They have a bio concave shape. which enables the
haemoglobin containing oxygen to fit in their surface area. They are flexible which enables them to
fit in narrow capillaries.

Function: The function of red blood cells or erythrocytes is to carry oxygen throughout the body.

Ciliated epithelial cells

Structure: Ciliated epithelium is a thin tissue that has hair-like structures on it. These hairs, called
cilia, move back and forth to help move particles out of our body.

Function: The functions of ciliated epithelial cells is to move or sweep away secretions or foreign
bodies (such as dust) from the epithelial surface in structures like the nasal cavities, bronchial tubes
and trachea

Neurone
Neurons are the basic functional units of the nervous system, and they generate electrical signals
called action potentials, which allow them to quickly transmit information over long distances.
