This document describes several types of cells: red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body due to hemoglobin; white blood cells protect the body from pathogens; nerve cells transmit signals from the brain to the body; root hair cells absorb water and minerals from soil; and leaf cells take in sunlight to facilitate photosynthesis.
Types of cell
- 2. RED BLOOD CELLS They carry oxygen around the body. They are red because they contain a substance called hemoglobin.
- 3. WHITE BLOOD CELLS They protect the body from bacteria, viruses, etc.
- 4. NERVE CELLS They carry information from the brain to the rest of the body.
- 5. ROOT HAIR CELLS They absorb water and minerals from the soil.
- 6. LEAF CELLS They absorb sunlight so photosynthesis can take place.
