It means that the cell has a specific job or performs a specific function
Bacteria are unicellular organisms, which is to say, a bacterium is a cell. Bacteria differ from the cells of multicellular organisms in that they are generally much smaller and less specialized.
There are several different types of structures called organelles in cytoplasm.
White blood cells are our way of fighting infection. When we become infected with say the Flu Virus, our immune system manages to identify the virus cells and it then produces more white cells to destroy the viruses. If we have a low white cell count, then our abillity to fight infections is diminished or reduced. Hope this helps.
I say Robert Brown
when cells become specialized, they take up a particular function in the body, and they adapt their shape and function according to it i.e. a white blood cell is specialized as it is full of enzymes that fight off harmful bacteria. another is a nerve cell, designed for transferring "messages" through the body
Specialized cells are those that do a specific job or perform a specific function. For example, brain cells submit and store information. They do not however do the job of say, a skin cell, which is to protect an organism.

The most basic way to think of cancers is to say that they are caused by cells that are mutated somehow. All the cells in the human body are specialized for a certain type of job; for every type of specialized cell that mutates, a cancer can result.

Red blood cells, which make up the bulk of blood, are produced from stem cells in the bone marrow. Stem cells reproduce in bone marrow and provide the raw material from which red blood calls can be produced. A pluripotent (undifferentialted) stem cell becomes a multipotent stem cell, which in turn becomes a unipotential stem cell, which is to say it is now a specialized cell destined to become a specific type of blood cell. . After going through a few more stages it is released from the bone marrow, and ultimately becomes an erythrocyte, or mature red blood cell. White blood cells, which are actually immune cells, are also produced in bone marrow from pluripotential hematopoietic stem cells, but go thorugh different stages to eventually become one of the six types of immune cells classified as white blood cells.

Platelets, for example, are produced by megakaryocytes. Plasma is 90% water, but also contains other proteins, like albumin, that are produced by specialized marrow cells.

well because there specialized. cells have thousands of functions and they can be used to treat many things now days. to say that a cell was simple would be saying that they don't have much function. cells are also one of the most important things in human life :) hope this helped :)
