Specialised Cells Card Sort

This document describes different types of cells found in animals and plants including nerve cells that connect sensors to the brain, palisade cells in plant roots with chloroplasts, and xylem cells in plants that are hollow to carry water. Red blood cells have a large surface area for oxygen absorption and lack a nucleus, while sperm cells have tails that allow them to swim and transport genetic material for growth and development.
