Learning Intention To be able to label an animal cell and describe the function of organelles To explain what is meant by the term “Specialised Cell” To describe the role of the cells found in blood To be able to explain why we have different blood types
Cells Basic Unit of life Unicellular- smallest living organism Multicellular- large number of cells Animal, Plant, Bacterial, Fungal ANIMAL CELL
Animal Cell (copy)
Copy and Complete Organelle Function Nucleus Controls what enters and exits the cell Site of chemical reactions Site of aerobic respiration Ribosomes
Specialised Cells Inefficient to all do same job Jobs delegated Specialised cells- adaptions Specialised cells ordered into tissues
Blood An example of tissue (approx) 5 litres Transports useful substances around the body (Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Dissolved food, Hormones) Contains specialised cells
Blood Plasma Pale yellow liquid 55% of blood’s total volume Holds blood cells
Red Blood Cells Haemoglobin- Carries Oxygen (Oxy-haemoglobin) Biconcave shape No nucleus Flexible
White Blood Cells Immune System Fights off foreign bodies Shape shifters Far less than RBC
Platelets Small and colourless Disc shaped No nucleus Large numbers Clotting
Specialised cells in blood: Copy and Complete Type of Cell Description Function Yellow like fluid which makes up 55% of the total blood volume All other cells are suspended in it Red Blood Cells Bi-concave shape and no nucleus to increase surface area Can change their shape Platelets Small, colourless, no nucleus

Blood Types A person’s blood type is determined by the presence or absence of the antigens A and B, which are carried on the surface of the red cells.
