Guard Cells in Plants QUESTIONS (With your Neighbor)

What cells are most important to your body? Do you think we have cells that we can live without?

Why bother studying cells? Specialized Cells

Plants and animals contain many cells. In a many-celled (multicellular) organism the cells are often quite different from each other and

are specialized to perform specific functions. SPECIALIZED CELLS

Why be Multicellular Multicellular organisms can grow much larger than single celled organisms and still be

efficient. Multicellular organisms are much more complex because they have various cell types that can

perform specialized functions. (a division of labor) Survival of the organism is not dependent on

just one cell. Cells dont really look like

this Specialized Cells

This specialization starts with STEM CELLS, a special type of UN-specialized cell that has the potential to develop into many different

cell types during development. STEM CELLS
