Long root hair for better absorption of water and minerals.
Key Stage 3
Meaning
A root hair cell is a specialised cell found in roots of plants that is specially adapted to absorb water.
Adaptations of Muscle Cells
- Muscle cells have many mitochondria to provide energy for movement.
- Muscle cells have muscle fibres which can relax and contract to change the shape of the cell.
About Muscle Cells
- All muscles in the body are made of muscle cells.
- Muscle cells are specially adapted to allow for movement.
- Many muscle cells grouped together make muscle tissue.
