SNC 2D: Tissues, Organs and Systems
CELLS: Basic Structure
Vacuole
Nucleus
Cytoplasm
Cell Wall
Cell
membrane
Chloroplast
SNC 2D: Tissues, Organs and Systems
All cells have these features in common:
a nucleus
contains genetic material which controls the cell's behaviour.
cytoplasm
where chemical processes take place
a cell membrane
which controls what passes into and out of the cell
Some Specialized Cells Recognize Any?

Specialized Animal Cells
Image 1 - Red Blood Cells
Image 2 - Sperm Cells
Image 3 - Nerve Cells
SNC 2D: Tissues, Organs and Systems
Image 1 - Red Blood Cells
Example of cell
Red blood cell
Specific function
Carry oxygen to the
cells
Specialized features suited to the function
1. Thin outer membrane allows oxygen to diffuse
through easily.
2. No nucleus means that the whole cell is full of
haemoglobin (which carries the oxygen)

Image 2 - Sperm Cells
Example of cell
Specific function
Specialized features suited to the function
1. The head, contains DNA
Sperm cell
(male gamete)
To fertilize the egg 2. The middle section, is full of mitochondria for
cell (female gamete) energy.
3. The tail moves the sperm to the egg.

Image 3 - Nerve Cells
Example of cell
Specific function
Nerve cell
(motor neurone)
Pass sensory
impulses from one
area to another
Specialized features suited to the function
1. Dendrites make connections with other neurones.
2. Long nerve fibre to carry the impulse

SNC 2D: Tissues, Organs and Systems
Image 4- Leaf Cells
Example of cell
Specific function
Leaf palisade
cell
Carries out
photosynthesis
Specialized features suited to the function
Packed with chloroplasts
SNC 2D: Tissues, Organs and Systems
Image 5- Pollen Cell
Example of cell
Pollen cell (male
gametes)
Specific function
Fertilize the ovules
(female gametes)
Specialized features suited to the function
1. Have a hard protective outer coat to survive
bad conditions.
2. Shape and surface of outer coat is adapted to
method of dispersal
SNC 2D: Tissues, Organs and Systems
Image 6 - Guard Cells
Example of cell
Specific function
Guard cell
Opens/closes leaf pore
Specialized features suited to the function
1. Regulate the size of leaf pore
2. Change shape easily
