increase in size | growth |
measurement used to measure growth | length |
growth of human babies is monitored by | mass and length |
A baby's mass is in the 95th percentile, this means | 5% of all babies will be heavier |
A baby's mass is in the 50th percentile, this means that | 50% of all babies will be lighter |
changes causing specialisation | differentiation |
red blood cells | have no nucleus |
haemoglobin | carries oxygen |
fat cells can store fat droplets | for when the body needs energy |
elongation | increase in length |
meristem | found in plant shoot and root tips |
root hair and xylem cells are | specialised plant cells |
xylem tubes | carry water through a plant |
xylem vessels have thick walls | to withstand water pressure |
xylem vessels | are long tubes formed from dead xylem cells |
function is photosynthesis | palisade cells |
plant meristem cells | have many ribosomes |
Root hair cells | increase surface area |
