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
