Cell Specialization

Cell Specialization. Cell theory states that all cells come from previously existing cells All cells in an organism contain the same DNA but are not all alike. Cells develop in different ways to perform particular functions in a process called cell specialization. The Process.

  1. Cell Specialization

  2. Cell theory states that all cells come from previously existing cells All cells in an organism contain the same DNA but are not all alike. Cells develop in different ways to perform particular functions in a process called cell specialization. The Process

  3. Contain hemoglobin that carries oxygen in blood Are smooth so that they can easily pass through the blood Red blood cells

  4. Can move like an amoeba to engulf bacteria and fight infection White blood cells

  5. Fit together tightly to cover the outside of the body Protect the cells inside and reduce water loss Skin cells

  6. Collect calcium from food Allow the growth and repair of bones Bone cells

  7. Are arranged in bundles called muscle fibres Can contract which makes the fibres shorter and causes bones to move Muscle cells

  8. Have a large vacuole in which to store fat molecules How cells store chemical energy Fat cells

  9. Are long, thin and have many branches Conduct electrical impulses to coordinate body activity Nerve cells

  10. P60 #1-6 ... When done, 3.1 # 1-6 • Lab • View a muscle cell, blood cell, epithelial and bone cell • Make biological drawing of each • Identify features of cell that aid with what it is specialized for task
