Made up of:
-protoplasm
- cellulose cell wall (non-living and only in plants)
- cytoplasm which surrounds the nucleus and where most life processes occur and consists of
- mitochondria - sites of energy release
- vacuoles - contain water and food substances
- chloroplasts - in plant cells only
- centrioles - in animal cells
- cell surface membrane which is the partially permeable, outer covering enclosing the cytoplasm
Specialised cells
1. Root hair cell in plants is adapted to do its job of taking in water and nutrients by having
2. Red blood cell which carries oxygen around the body have
- no nucleus and a large surface area (concave shape) - allows maximum area for oxygen carriers
- have haemoglobin to carry oxygen
3. White blood cell which fights disease and some make antibodies - their adaptations:
- irregular shape and they can change shape to squeeze out of blood vessels and get to the site of
infection
- others have cytoplasm which can flow making it possible for the cell to change shape and hence
surround and engulf bacteria
