Key Stage 4
Meaning
Specialised Plant Cells are cells in plants that are adapted for a specific function.
About Specialised Plant Cells
- Multicellular organisms need specialised cells to perform certain functions for that organism.
- Specialised cells make an organism more efficient than if every cell was the same.
- Specialised cells has special adaptations that make them good at their function.
- Cells can be specialised by having more mitochondria or chloroplasts than usual. They might be specialised with tiny hairs called cilia, or have an elongated shape.
These are some specialised cells in plants that you should know:
