  1. 3. has digestive enzymes which breaks down the outer layers of membrane of the egg cell.
  2. 4. SHEATH insulates one nerve cell from another to prevent the impulse from one neuron interfering with the impulse of another.
  3. 5. ______ cells retain the ability to fully differentiate throughout its life, not just in early development.
  4. 7. Purpose is to receive information from other neurons and to transmit electrical signals to the body.
  5. 8. maintains the cell and to keeps the neuron functioning efficiently
  6. 9. ____ cells are specialised to take up water by osmosis and minerla ions by active transport from the soil.
  7. 11. _____ cells are specialised to transmit electrical signals quickly from one place in the body to another
  8. 12. _____ cells are specialised to contract quickly to move bones (striated muscle) or simply to squeeze (smooth muscle), therefore causing movement.

  1. 1. a process that involves the cell gaining new sub-cellular structures in order for it to be suited to its role.
  2. 2. _____ cells are specialised to carry the products of photosynthesis to all parts of the plants
  3. 3. carries signals away from the cell body to the terminal buttons in order to transmit electrical signals to other neurons.
  4. 6. _____ cells lose their ability to differentiate after they have become specialised early in life.
  5. 8. ____ cells are specialised to carry the male's DNA to the egg cell (ovum) for successful reproduction
  6. 10. _____ cells are specialised to transport water and mineral ions up the plant from the roots to the shoots
