• Not all animals and plants are the same – everything

differs in some way.
• The same applies to cells – they are not all the same
• Some cells in plants and animals are specialised.
• This means their structures are adapted to suit a
particular function – so they often don’t look like
typical animal or plant cells

Muscle Cells
• Muscle cells are found in all the muscles in our body
e.g., arms, legs, everywhere!
• Muscles are made from long elastic fibres of
protein. They are packed with mitochondria.
• This is because muscles are required for movement
and mitochondria is where energy is released from
respiration.

Sperm Cell
• Sperm cells are designed to fertilise
eggs
• Found in the testes Head contains enzymes & nucleus

• A sperm is small and has a long tail

to allow it to swim to the egg
• The head of the sperm contains
enzymes which allow it to digest the
egg and join with it Tail
