Their function is to contract to bring movement.
Adaption.
The contain fibres called myofibrils.
M-Y-O-F-I-B-R-I-L-S
the myofibrils are able to slide around each other making the muscle short.
Muscle cells have many mitochondria.
M-I-T-O-C-H-O-N-D-R-I-A
This enables the release of more energy required for muscle contraction.
Now, ciliated cells.
Yeah, they're found in the inner walls of the nose, of the trachea and bronchi and oviducts.
The sweep away mucus with dust and bacteria.
Adaptation.
they have cilia or tiny hair-like structures which can beat back and forth pushing the mucus.
Anyway, goblet cells.
They are found in the lining of cells. For example in the respiratory track.
They secret mucus.
Adaptation.
They've got a distinct goblet shape for effective secretion of mucus.
Also, they've got microvilli. M-I-C-R-O-V-I-L-L-I. This increases the surface area for mucus secretion.
Ah, palisade mesophyll cells.
Mesophyll. M-E-S-O-P-H-Y-L-L.
They're plant cells found in layers of epidermis or mesophyll layer in the underside of the leaf.
Adaptation.
They got many chloroplasts to absorb most of the light on the surface of the leaf.
Cells got a rectangular shape to pack together tightly and absorb as much sunlight as possible.
Function.
They're a site for photosynthesis.
Now, root hair cells.
They're found in plants. Yeah, the outer layer of plant roots.
Function.
They suck water and mineral ions from the soil. I-O-N-S not iron.
Adaptation.
They've got a long-ass extension which helps with sucking water I guess.
Moving on to Xylem vessels
They be found in plants. Yep, yet again. They are in the vascular bundles of plants. Vascular spelt like mascular.
Function.
One. Transport water from roots to entire plant.
Adaptation.
Cells are joined from end to end. These cells are dead and hollow. this allows the movement of water.
Number two, they provide support to the plant.
Adaptation.
The cells are lignified. They've got lignin. This makes xylem vessels strong.
