Amoeba Sister's Specialized Cells If you want a deeper understanding of specialized cells, watch the video. Types of Specialized Cells Use the chart to match the animal cell with its specialty Red Blood Cell I have a very large surface area and my insides are packed with Hemoglobin to bind Oxygen Nerve Cell I am extremely long to reach many distances throughout the body. I am able to carry electrical signals down my length Sperm Cell I have a Flagellum that allows me to move fast. I have a pointed head to penetrate the egg cell. Types of Specialized Cells Use this chart to match the plant cells with its specialty Root Hair Cells I have a large surface area to absorb great amounts of water through my cell membrane Leaf Cell I have many many chloroplast within me so that I can convert as much light into energy as possible Max Organelles! Use the charts above and below to sort the specialized cells by which organelle they will likely have an abundance of. Mitochondria (2) Muscle Cell Heart Cell Surface area (Cell Membrane) (2) Blood Cell Root Cell Lysosomes (1) White Blood Cell Chloroplasts (1) Leaf Cell Cilia (2) Lung Cell (Alveoli) Sperm Cell What is Cell Specialization? When a cell is prokaryotic and does not have organelles If a cell has organelles it is specialized When the cell is eukaryotic and has organelles When a cell has a special structure or organelles to allow it to complete a specific job A cell with numerous ribosomes isprobably specialized for - enzyme storage cell division protein synthesis energy production Select the cell that is considered specialized Plant Cell Nerve Cell Prokaryotic Cell Eukaryotic Cell Amoeba Sister's Biological Organizational Levels Video Watch the video for a deeper understanding on organizational levels.
