SPECIALIZED CELLS CHART
Objective: Today I will EXAMINE specialized cells by
making observations of specialized cells on lecture
slides.
Starter:
A scientist discovers a new species who’s cells
contain a nucleus, a chloroplast, and a cell wall
made of cellulose. What kind of organism do you
think it is? Where might you find it on a food chain?
Explain why.

Reflection:
• After examining specialized cells, explain why
having specialized cells are important for the
functioning of an organism.
Exit:
Explain which body cells would have a high
number of mitochondria in order to function?
