- Specialised cells
- Fat Cells
- They are storage cells that get bigger if you store more fat
- Little Cytoplasm - more room for fat storage
- Few mitochondria - they use little energy so more room for fat storage
- Expandable - As it fills up it expands
- Cone Cells
- The light sensitive layer of your eye which makes you see colour
- Middle section packed with mitochondria - This means it can use a lot of energy when seeing colour
- The final part is a specialized nerve ending which triggers impulses sent to the brain
- Root Hair Cells
- They enable plants to take up the water they need
- Lots of them so they increase surface area of osmosis
- Positioned close to the Xylem so small diffusion distance
- Sperm Cells
- They fertilize an egg with the genetic information needed to create babies
- Long tails - can swim towards the egg fast
- Packed with mitochondria which provides the energy for the tail
- The tip contains enzymes for getting into the egg
- Fat Cells
