Specialized cells have structures adapted for specific functions. Palisade cells in leaves contain many chloroplasts with chlorophyll to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. Red blood cells are doughnut-shaped and nucleus-free, allowing maximum oxygen transport. Sperm cells have tails for swimming to fertilize eggs. Ciliated epithelial cells line the windpipe, with cilia that beat to move mucus and debris upwards.

•In the back of your books


•Think of a job a person might do
•What do they need to do their job
properly?
Specialized Cells
Specialized Cells
• Specialized cells are cells who’s shape or
structure has been changed in order for
then to carry out a certain job.

• Think of a factory…
Palisade Cells
•Palisade cells make up the tissue in the upper
layers of leaves
•Their job is to trap the Sun’s energy
to make food for the plant
•The palisade is Specialized for its job by
having lots of chloroplasts containing
chlorophyll to trap the Sun’s energy
Draw a palisade cell
• Draw a palisade cell

• Underneath, explain the job of the cell and


how it is Specialized to do this job
Red Blood Cells
• The job of red blood cells is to transport
oxygen around the body
•They are Specialized by being shaped like a
doughnut and by having no nucleus
•This allows them to carry
more oxygen

Draw a Red blood cell
• Draw a red blood cell

• Underneath, explain the job of the cell and


how it is Specialized to do this job
Sperm Cells
• Sperm cells are produced only by males

• Their job is to fertilise the egg of a female


for reproduction

•Sperm cells are Specialized for this job by


having a tail so that they can swim
to find the egg

Draw a Sperm cell
• Draw a sperm cell

• Underneath, explain the job of the cell and


how it is Specialized to do this job
Ciliated epithelial cells
• Ciliated cells line the wind pipe to the lungs

•Their job is to move mucus and dirt along and carry it up


the windpipe to the nose and throat

•These cells have tiny hairs called cilia which beat to


move the mucus and dirt along
Draw a Ciliated Epithelial cell
• Draw a ciliated epithelial cell

• Underneath, explain the job of the cell and


how it is Specialized to do this job
Extention Questions
In full sentences...
• Which Specialized cell has no nucleus?
Explain why.
• What are the tiny hair-like structures called on
the cells which line the windpipe?
• What is the job of a sperm cell? How is it
Specialized to perform this role?
• What is the job of a palisade cell? How is it
Specialized to perform this role?
