Red Blood Cell
-Transports oxygen around the body
-No nucleus
-Very flexible
-Filled with the pigment Haemoglobin which carries oxygem
3 of 10
Muscle Cell
-Contracts so that structures can be brought close together
-Long
-Many protein fibres in the cytoplasm
-Fibres can shorten the cell when there's energy available
4 of 10
Sperm Cell
-Delivers one set of chromosones
-Fertilizes the female sex cell
-Head of the cell carries the chromosones
5 of 10
Motor Nerve Cell
-Conducts nerve impulses
-Has a long fibre called an axon
-Impulses travel along the axon
-Has a fatty sheath that gives electrical insulation
-Many banched ending which connects to lots of cells
6 of 10
Root Hair Cell
-Absorbs minerals and water from the soil
-Has a long extention called the root hair
-Root hair increases the surface area for absorbtion
7 of 10
Xylem Vessel
-Transports water
-Supports the plant
-Has no cytoplasm so water can pass through easily
-No end wall so it forms a continuous tube
-Walls are strangthenned with a waterproof substance called LIGNIN

Diffusion
The net movement of molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration down a concentration gradient
-Diffusion is the main process by which substances move over short distances in living organisms (e.g. oxygen enters the blood by diffusion)
-Diffusion distances are short
-Concentration gradients are maintaned
-Diffusion surfaces are large

Osmosis
The diffusion of WATER molecules from a regiong of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration through a partially permeable membrane
