1.3.2 Specialised plant cells

What is the job of a root hair cell?

• To carry oxygen

• To make food

• To absorb water from the soil

• To trap dust

Where are root hair cells found?

• In the leaves

• On the stem

• On the outside of plant roots

• Inside flowers

How does the shape of a root hair cell help it? (a long thin extension)

• The thick walls keep it strong

• The cilia help it move

• Chloroplasts

• Axons

What is found inside chloroplasts that makes food?

• Mucus

• Chlorophyll

• Cilia

• Haemoglobin

What does chlorophyll do?

• Absorbs energy from sunlight

• Makes the cell move

• Stores oxygen

• Traps bacteria

Which plant cell has a long extension to absorb water?
