More colourful slides for your learning experience.
The 12 slides are very useful in learning the following concepts:
- shape and size of specialised cells are related to their adaptation for their functions
- guard cell, unevenly thickened wall, to open and close the stoma
- long finger-like shape to increase surface area to volume ratio in root hair cell
- hollow cell with thick lignified walls in xylem to conduct water upwards
- ciliated lining cell in trachea to waft dust and germs upwards the air passages
- long tail and plenty of mitochondria in sperm cell to swim
- plenty of yolk and large in egg to store nutrients for growth
- ability to move about in tissue fluid and ingest bacteria in phagocyte
- ability to contract and relax thus change length in muscle cell
- biconcave disc shape with haemoglobin in red blood cell to absorb and transport oxygen
- long, myelinated axon in nerve cell to transmit nerve impulses over long distances
- cell, tissues, organs, systems, organism-order of complexity
