Lesson 4: Describing Cells
Classify specialised cells as animal cells or plant cells.Describe different specialised animal cells and plant cells.Explain the structure and function of specialised cells using models.Before a cell becomes specialised it starts out as a
stem cell.Slide3
Lesson 4: The right cells for the job
Cells become specialised because they become responsible for a particular job in the human bodyThis job includes movement, finding out information about the environment, sending messages to different organs in the body, carry or making chemicals for the body, reproducing or absorbing food
.Where would you find cells that detect:light?

eat?Slide4
Lesson 4: Specialised Animal Cells
Nerve cells : carry messages from one part of the body to another. Muscle
cells: are made from protein fibres that can rapidly expand and contract to create movement. Sperm cells: main
job is to carry genetic material to an
egg cell,
so that it can be fertilised.
Egg cells:
accept genetic material during fertilisation.
Red-blood cells:
carries and delivers oxygen around the body.
Skin cells:
protect the body from outside invaders.Slide5
Lesson 4: Specialised Plant Cells
Specialised plant cells help in the making their own food through a process called photosynthesisRoot hair cell: collect water and mineral
nutrients present in the soil and take this solution up through the roots to the rest of the plant.Leaf cell: have many chloroplasts that help to capture sunlight.
Pollen cell
: are the same as sperm cells but in plants. Some are carried by wind, or by insects. These cells help in the reproduction of plants.Slide6
