Resource summary

Specialised cells
  1. Multicellular organisms.
    1. They are multiple organisms that work together but don't do the same things.
    2. Specialised animal cells
      1. Muscle cells: There are 3 types of muscles that are the voluntary mucles, the involuntary mucles and the cardic muscles
        1. The involuntary muscles ( also known as skeltal muscles) are the musclesattached to the bone of your skelton. They are used for support nd movement. The reason the are called voluntary musle is because you are able to control what they are and aren,t able to do
          1. Involuntary muscle work without you having to think about it. An example is when you breathe in and out
            1. Cardical muscle are the muscles that make up the heart. The are involuntary muscles put have striped apperances like a voluntary muscle
            2. Blood cells: There are two types of blood cells: red and white.
              1. White blood cells are part of the immune system and help fight infections
                1. The red blood cells carry oxygen around to your cells where it is used to realise the energy you need. It also carries some of the waste carbon dioxide from the cells too get rid of it.
                2. Nerve cells:They make up your brain and also carry information from your brain to other parts of your body
                  1. Fat cells: There are 2 types of fat cells
                    1. Brown fat cells are used to produce heat for the body
                      1. White fat cells store energy. They also form an insulating layer under the skin to keep your body at a constant temperature
                      2. Animals are complex multicellar organisms with large numbers of different cell types
                      3. Specialised plant cells
                        1. Plants have multicellular organisms. They have specialized cells with different shape and sizes but don't have as many different types of cells like animals. Some of the multicellular organisms consist of:
                          1. Guard cells : They are found on leaves and stems of plants. They are cells that work together to open and close stomata
                            1. Conducting cells: They are long, thin tubes like drinking straws. They transfer water from the roots to the leaves
                              1. Photosynthetic cells: They are near the surface of the green part of the stem and have a large nuber of chloroplasts
                                1. Structural cells: The cell wall acts as the skeleton of the plant. When the plant becomes bigger, the cell wall grows along with it.
                                  1. Root hair: They are extensions on the outer surface of some root cells which allows a larger surface area for water uptake
