Sperm Cell

Root Hair Cells

Palisade Cells

Specialization- transmit signals

Differentiation- high salinity

Differentiation- chloroplasts respond to light

Specialization- Gas exchange in plants

Differentiation- Narrow tubes

Specialization- carry food (Phloem) and water (Xylem)

Differentiation-mitochondria to produce ATP

Specialization-contract and bend to allow bones to move

Differentiation- large surface area

Specialization-speed up osmosis in plants

Differentiation- tail for movement and mitochondria for energy

Specialization- fertilize eggs

Differentiation- disk shaped with a dip for more surface area

Specialization- transports oxygen (hemoglobin)

Differentiation- blank

Specialization- no specialization- can become any type of cell

Differentiation- Vertically elongated

Specialization- absorbs energy from light
