Question 3

The table describes the adaptations of three types of specialised eukaryotic cells.

SpermatozoaRoot hair cellsCiliated epithelial cells
Aacrosome containing enzymes to digest the egg's outer layer and a diploid nucleus containing genetic materiallong projection to increase surface area and many chloroplasts for starch synthesismicrovilli to increase the surface area for rapid diffusion of oxygen into cells
Bacrosome containing hydrolytic enzymes and many mitochondria to provide ATP for movementlong projection to increase surface area and thin cell walls for rapid uptake of water and ionshair-like cilia that beat synchronously to slide mucus up the airways and away from the lungs
Cacrosome containing hydrolytic enzymes and many mitochondria to provide ATP for movementthick cell walls to withstand high turgor pressure and many chloroplasts for photosynthesismicrovilli to increase the surface area for rapid diffusion of oxygen into cells
Dacrosome containing enzymes to digest the egg's outer layer and a diploid nucleus containing genetic materiallong projection to increase surface area and thin cell walls for rapid uptake of water and ionshair-like cilia that beat synchronously to slide mucus up the airways and away from the lungs
