Answer 22

Plant and bacteria cells.

Question 23

What is the biological function of the cell wall?

Answer 23

Provides structure, support, and protection for the cell.

Question 24

Which cells is a cell membrane found in?

Answer 24

Animal, plants and bacteria cells

Question 25

What is the biological function of a cell membrane?

Answer 25

A thin coat of phopholipids surrounds a cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell.

Question 26

What are specialized cells?

Answer 26

Cells have nucleus, the cytoplasm, the cell membrane but not all cells look the same. They can have different sizes, different shapes nor do they perform the same functions. Some cells have become specialised to do special jobs as part of the organ system they belong to.

Question 27

Examples of specialised cells

Answer 27

Red blood cells, leaf cells, motor neurone cells, sperm cells and plant root hair cells.

Question 28

What does it mean for a cell to be specialised?

Answer 28

A specialised cell has structure that suits its function.

Question 29

The size and shape of cells.

Answer 29

The size, shape, and the types of organelles vary among the diversity of existing cells.

Question 30

Variations

Answer 30

Variations exist among the different organisms but also among the same organism.

Question 31

Unique role

Answer 31

Each cell has its unique role in helping the body function properly.

Question 32

How do shapes help

Answer 32

The shapes of each cell help them to fulfill their roles effectively.
