what is a nerve cell specialised to do?
to carry electrical impulses from one part of the body to another.
1 of 6
name two adaptations of a nerve cell.
• lots of dendrites to make connections to other cells.
• An axon that carries the nerve impulses from one place to another.
2 of 6
what is a striated muscle cell specialised to do?
contract and relax
3 of 6
name two adaptations of a straited muscle cells.
• They contain special proteins that slide over each other making the fibres contract.
• They contain many mitochondria to transfer the energy need for the chemical reactions that take place as the cells contract and relax.
4 of 6
name two adaptations of a sperm cell.
• A large nucleus that contains the genetic information that needs to be passed on.
•The middle section is all full of mitochondria, which helps transfer the energy needed for a tail to work.
