Cell Specialisation
Across
- 3. has digestive enzymes which breaks down the outer layers of membrane of the egg cell.
- 4. SHEATH insulates one nerve cell from another to prevent the impulse from one neuron interfering with the impulse of another.
- 5. ______ cells retain the ability to fully differentiate throughout its life, not just in early development.
- 7. Purpose is to receive information from other neurons and to transmit electrical signals to the body.
- 8. maintains the cell and to keeps the neuron functioning efficiently
- 9. ____ cells are specialised to take up water by osmosis and minerla ions by active transport from the soil.
- 11. _____ cells are specialised to transmit electrical signals quickly from one place in the body to another
- 12. _____ cells are specialised to contract quickly to move bones (striated muscle) or simply to squeeze (smooth muscle), therefore causing movement.
Down
- 1. a process that involves the cell gaining new sub-cellular structures in order for it to be suited to its role.
- 2. _____ cells are specialised to carry the products of photosynthesis to all parts of the plants
- 3. carries signals away from the cell body to the terminal buttons in order to transmit electrical signals to other neurons.
- 6. _____ cells lose their ability to differentiate after they have become specialised early in life.
- 8. ____ cells are specialised to carry the male's DNA to the egg cell (ovum) for successful reproduction
- 10. _____ cells are specialised to transport water and mineral ions up the plant from the roots to the shoots
