B1- cells differentiation and specialisation
  1. cells differentiate to become specialised
    1. differentiation is the process by which a cell changes to become specialised for its job
      1. as cells change, they develop different subcellular structures and turn into different types of cells. This allows them to carry out specific functions.
        1. most differentiation occurs as an organism develops. in most animal cells, the ability to differentiate is then lost at an early stage, after they become specialised.
          1. however, losts of plant cells don't ever lose this ability.
          2. the cells that differntiate in mature animals are mainly used for repairing and replacing cells, such as skin or blood cells.
            1. some cells are undifferentiated cells - they're called stme cells
            2. sperm cells are specialised for reproduction
              1. The function of sperm is to get the male DNA to the female DNA
                1. It has a long tail and a streamlined head to help it swim to the egg
                  1. There are a lot of mitochondria in the cell to provide the energy needed
                    1. it also carries enzymes in its head to digest through the egg membrane
                    2. Nerve cells are specialised for rapid signalling
                      1. the function of nerve cells is to carry electrical signals from one part of the body to another
                        1. These are long and have branched connections at their ends to connect to other nerve cells and form a network throught the body
                        2. muscle cells are specialised for contraction
                          1. the function of muscle cells is to contract quickly
                            1. these cells are long and contain lots of mitochondria to generate the energy needed for contraction.
                            2. root hair cells are specialised for absorbing water and minerals
                              1. root hair cells are cells on the surface of plant roots, which grow into long 'hairs' that stick out into the soil
                                1. this gives the plant a big surface area for absorbing water and mineral ions from the soil
                                2. phloem and xylem cells are specialised for transporting substances
                                  1. phloem and xylem cells form phloem and xylem tubes, which transport substances such as food and water around plants.
                                    1. to form the tubes, the cells are long and joined end to end
                                      1. xylem cells are hollow in the centre
                                        1. phloem cells have very few subcellular structures, so that stuff can flow through them.
