Cells are the basic building blocks og all living organisms
As an organism develops, cells differentiate to form different types of cells. They become specialised
Most types of animal cell can differentiate at an early but many types of plant cell can differentiate throughout their life
As a cell differentiates:
- it may change shape
- different sub-cellular structures develop to let it carry out a specific function
Specialised animal cells include sperm, nerve and muscle cells.
Specialised plant cells include root hair, xylem and pholem cellls.
