, Red Blood Cells
Structure &
Function:
haemoglobin that carries oxygen
lacks nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria
small and flexible so can squeeze along narrow capillaries
biconcave shape that gives large surface area to volume ratio
Structure &
Function
·
Produced in the BONE MARROW
Red blood cells have cytoplasm with a
No nucleus - therefore limited
lifespan of 3 weeks. This is to large amount of haemoglobin
make space for additional ·
HAEMOGOBIN The shape of a red blood cell gives a
Haemoglobin - quarternary large surface area to pass oxygen
protein containing haem through
prosthetic groups which CARRY
OXYGEN
Flexible membranes - allow them
to move through narrow
capillaries
Biconcave - this increases the
surface area:volume ratio so
that they can increase diusion .
of O2 into the cell to be carried
by the haemoglobin

Sperm Cells

Acrosome
Function:
Nucleus
- Acrosome - contains HYDROLYTIC Head
ENZYMES DNA
called acrosine, which dissolves the
zona pellucida (see ovum), allowing Mid-piece
the sperm to penetrate the egg’s
membrane. Mitochondria
- Nucleus - HAPLOID: contains Tail
HALF the chromosomes needed
for an entire organism - 1 copy
of each chromosome (23
chromosomes) Flagellum
Midpiece
- contain MITOCHONDRIA - high
energy demand for movement of
the sperm tail. Mitochondria = site of
AEROBIC RESPIRATION therefore
release ATP to allow the tail to move
Tail / Undulopodium
- made of protein fibers that
contract on alternative sides, giving
a characteristic wavelike
movement
