Both animals and plants normally begin life as a single cell, the zygote, because that is how sexual reproduction takes place. (Asexual reproduction can happen in different ways.) Since the organism starts with one cell, the various specialized types of cells must necessarily form in the course of embryonic development (except in the case of unicellular organisms which, having only one cell, also have only one kind of cell). The purpose of specialized cells is also clear. By specializing, it is possible for a cell to do a specific function more efficiently than an unspecialized cell could. An organism made up of specialized cells is a much more effective organism, with greater capabilities.
What else can I help you with?
Is a stomata cell an animal cell?
No, stomata cells are not animal cells. Stomata cells are specialized plant cells responsible for gas exchange, whereas animal cells are the building blocks of animal tissues and perform various functions in animal organisms.
How do animal cells differ form the cells of unicellular organisms?
Animal cells are specialized for multicellular organisms and contain organelles like a nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum. Unicellular organisms are typically simple and lack specialized organelles found in animal cells. Animal cells also have complex structures like tissues and organs for specific functions, while unicellular organisms are single-celled and perform all functions independently.
What is an animal called that is made of many cells?
An animal made up of many cells is called multicellular. These organisms are composed of multiple specialized cells that work together to perform specific functions necessary for survival. Examples include mammals, birds, and insects.
Is a nerve cell in a plant cell or an animal cell?
Animal
Name 3 specialised animal cells?
Neurons are specialised animal cells responsible for transmitting electrical signals in the nervous system. Red blood cells are specialised animal cells that transport oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Muscle cells are specialised animal cells that contract and generate force to allow movement in the body.
Examples of specialized animal cells?
Examples of specialized animal cells include red blood cells, which are specialized for carrying oxygen, and muscle cells, which are specialized for contraction and movement. Other examples include nerve cells (neurons) which are specialized for transmitting electrical impulses, and sperm cells which are specialized for fertilization.
Do plant cells specialize in the same way animal cells do?
Plant cells do specialize but not in the same way as animal cells. Animal cells have specialized cells such as nerve cells, reproductive cells or muscle cells etc. Plant cells do not have any of those. But Plant cells have other specialized cells such as photosynthesis cells, epidermal cells etc. Both Animal and Plant cells have specialized cells that perform a specific function to keep the cell/organism alive.
Do animal cells have chromoplasts?
No, the animal counterpart to the Plant Cell chloroplast is the Mitochondria.
Why do plant and animal cells have specialized structures?
read science book to perform specialized functions of their living activity
What is the cells fight disease and pathogens in the body of an animal?
Yes. We have specialized cells that help fight diseases.
Is an animal's stomach is a example of a specialized cell?
No, an animal's stomach is an organ made up of several different types of specialized cells, such as mucous-secreting cells, acid-secreting cells, and digestive enzyme-secreting cells. These cells work together to carry out the function of the stomach, which is to break down food for digestion.
What kind of creature has specialized cell?
Many creatures have specialized cells, but one notable example is the human body, which contains various specialized cells such as neurons for transmitting signals, muscle cells for contraction, and red blood cells for oxygen transport. In the animal kingdom, insects like bees have specialized cells in their antennae for detecting pheromones, while plants have specialized cells such as guard cells that regulate gas exchange. These specialized cells enable organisms to perform specific functions crucial for their survival and adaptation.
What is small in animal cells but large in plant cells?
Vacuoles are small in animal cells but large in plant cells. They play a role in maintaining turgor pressure in plant cells and storing water, ions, and nutrients. In animal cells, vacuoles are smaller and more specialized in function.
Do a plant or animal cells contains a chloroplasts?
okay, animal cells don't have chloroplasts!! only plant cells do!! chloroplasts give the plant its green color!!
Are animal cells flat?
Animal cells come in a variety of shapes, depending upon their specialized function. Epithelial cells are rather flat. Muscle cells are not flat, they are more tubular in shape. While blood cells are roundish. And so forth.
What are animal cells that are specialized for conducting electrochemical impulses known as?
Animal cells specialized for conducting electrochemical impulses are known as neurons. Neurons have unique structures such as dendrites, axons, and synapses that allow for the transmission of electrical signals within the nervous system.
Where is the bacterial cells in a animal cell?
Animal cells do not naturally contain bacterial cells, as they are distinct organisms. However, bacteria can exist within animal cells in certain contexts, such as during infections or within specialized cells like macrophages that engulf bacteria. Additionally, some symbiotic relationships may involve bacteria living in or on animal cells. In terms of cellular structure, bacterial cells are prokaryotic and differ significantly from the eukaryotic structure of animal cells.
