WHAT IS A SPECIALISED CELL?

Organisms contain many different types of cells; they are
multicellular. Humans are made of lots of cells, not just one cell

� Each type of cell is designed to carry out a particular job or

function.
� This is known as cell specialism
� Not all cells look the same.
� Some cells have a special shape and features to help them
do a certain job.

 SPERM CELL
Head contains enzymes & nucleus

Designed to Fertilise eggs.

Found in the Testes

A sperm is small and has a long
tail that provides movement so it
can swim and find an egg cell.
Tail
The head contains enzymes
which allow it to digest into an
egg cell and join with it.
 EGG (OVUM) CELL

Cytoplasm containing yolk � Designed to be Fertilised.

� Found in the Ovaries.

� An egg cell is large and

bulky.

� Contains yolk which

Layer of jelly provides a large food store
Nucleus
for the new cell being
formed.
PALISADE CELL
� Designed for
Photosynthesis Nucleus

� Found in the top of a leaf

� Tall and has a large

surface area to absorb
water and minerals.

� Packed with chloroplasts

to help make plant food.
Chloroplasts
CILIATED CELL
� Designed to stop Lung
Damage

Nucleus
� They line all the air
passages in the lungs.

� They have tiny hairs called

cilia.

� Hairs sweep mucus with

cilia
trapped dust and bacteria
back up the throat.
ROOT HAIR CELL
•Thin cell wall
Designed for absorbing. Vacuole makes it easy
for minerals to
pass through.

and minerals.
NERVE CELL (NEURONE)

Nucleus

•They are long

•They have connections at each end
•Can carry electrical signals
•Their job is to carry nerve impulses to different
parts of the body.
RED BLOOD CELL

•Designed to carry oxygen

•Found in blood.
•Large surface area, for oxygen to pass through.
•Contains haemoglobin, which joins with oxygen.
•Has no nucleus
HOMEWORK
� To produce a 3D model of a specialised cell.

� These will be displayed in the classroom, and may be

used for an exhibition later in year.

Some cells have special jobs to do. They often have special
shapes to help them do their job. We say that these cells
are _________________ to do their jobs.
 
A group of the same type of cells, all working together, is
called a _________________ .
