Biology Apex 3.3.1
What types of plan cells have chloroplasts?
All plant cells have some; most are found in leaves, while a few are found in stems.
Describe specialization in the cells of unicellular organisms:
Although they have only one cell, these organisms have a wide variety of shapes and functions.
Describe specialization in animal cells:
Animal cells are highly specialized and are organized into four tissue types.
Specialization
Cells that do only one special job.
Describe specialization in the cells of multicellular organisms:
Hundreds of different types of cells are possible; each cell has its own job, and cells cannot live on their own without the organism.
Plants
Specialized cell structures such as cell walls and chloroplasts
Function of Chloroplasts
Specialized organelles that absorb solar energy.
Phloem
Transports water and carbohydrates from the chloroplasts to the rest of the plant.
Xylem
Transports water and nutrients from soil up through the plant
Vascular System
a system of tubes used to transport water and nutrients to every cell in the plant
Name the four animal tissue types:
nervous, epithelial, connective, and muscle
