Specialization of Cells in Animals and Plants

The video discusses the specialization of plant and animal cells, highlighting how different cell types are adapted to perform specific functions. Sperm cells are specialized for reproduction, nerve cells for communication, muscle cells for movement, root hair cells for absorption, and xylem and phloem cells for transport. The process of cell differentiation is explained, noting differences between animal and plant cells, with animal cells differentiating early and plant cells retaining the ability to differentiate throughout their life.

What adaptations do root hair cells have for absorbing water and minerals?

Explain the process of cell differentiation and its significance.
