4.1.1.3 Cell specialisation

Content	Key opportunities for skills development
$Students should be able to, when provided with appropriate information, explain how the structure of different types of cell relate to their function in a tissue, an organ or organ system, or the whole organism. Cells may be specialised to carry out a particular function: sperm cells, nerve cells and muscle cells in animals root hair cells, xylem and phloem cells in plants.$
