Palisade Cell
Plant
Their
chloroplasts
absorb a major
portion of the
light energy used
by the leaf.
This cell is at the top of the leaf, allowing it to absorb more light. It
is also a different shape to other similar cells in the leaf, as the
different shapes helps it to absorb light.
Photosynthetic Cell
Plant
A type of cell
which converts
light into energy
for the plant.
Name

Function
A type
of blood cell that
contains
hemoglobin and
is responsible for
the transport of
oxygen in the
blood.
These cells have a thin but strong membrane which allows oxygen
to pass through while still keeping the cell together.

These cells
effectively allow
plants to
breathe opening
and closing to
release carbon
dioxide and
intake oxygen.
They engulf
bacteria and
produce
antibodies,
creating
immunity for the
body.
Coordinated
movements of the
cardiac
muscle cells in
the heart propel
blood out of the
atria and
ventricles.
The shape of these protect the skin from the antibodies, but still
fight bacteria and viruses.

Xylem
Plant
The function of
this cell is to
collect water and
other nutrients in
the soil, and carry
it back through
the roots to the
plant.
The purpose of a
sperm cell is to
fertilize the egg.
Plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis. Root hair cells are
adapted for this by having a large surface area to speed up osmosis.
Xylem transports
water and solutes
from the roots to
the leaves,
One of the main adaptations of the xylem is the ring of lignin that forms a
spiral pattern around the xylem tube. Due to the immense strength
of the lignin, it helps to be a supportive structure for the plant
The sperm has a tail to help it move to find the egg. It also has a
large number of mitochondria to supply the energy needed for the
movement.
