1. Epithelial cells line the surfaces of organs and contain cilia. What if the function of these cells?

  • to carry female DNA to nourish the embryo
  • to move substances- the cilia beat to move substances to move in one direction, along the surface of the tissue
  • helps blood flow to the heart
  • to transport the male's DNA

2. How is the sperm cell adapted to its function?

  • has an acrosome at the front of the head where is stores enzymes needed to digest its way through the membrane of the egg cell
  • is a prokaryotic cell
  • carries the female DNA to nourish the developing embryo in the early stages
  • has cilia

3. What makes a haploid cell?

  • cell formed when two gametes combine
  • having half the normal number of chromosomes
  • having the normal number of chromosomes
  • being fertillised

4. How is the sperm cell adapted to its function?

  • has a diploid nucleus
  • has a lot of mitochondria in the middle section to provide energy (from respiration) needed to swim a long distance
  • its membrane changes shape after fertilisation so that the offspring ends up with the right amount of chromosomes
  • feeds the embryo with the nutrients in the embryo

5. How is an egg cell adapted to its function?

  • its membrane changes structure to stop and more sperm from entering to make sure its has the right amount of DNA (after fertilisation)
  • has cilia to help move mucus through the airwaves up to the throat so it can be swallowed and not reach the lungs
  • contains and acrosme
  • has a diploid nucleus
