Don’t worry if you get a question wrong! Forgetting is an important step in learning. We will recap next lesson.

Q1.Match each specialised cell to its function.
  • nerve cells
  • red blood cells
  • ciliated cells
  • sperm cells
  • egg cells
  • swims to the egg before fertilisation can occur
  • moves mucus up and out of the lungs
  • are the female sex cells that join with the sperm during fertilisation
  • carries oxygen around the body for respiration
  • transmit impulses along the body
