Matching Pairs Specialized Animal CellsOnline version assignment by Benjamin D Morgan 1 Connective cell Function 2 specialized cells 3 Nerve Cell Structure 4 Epithilial Cell Structure 5 Muscle cell structure 6 Dependent Variable 7 Connective cell structure 8 Epithilial Cell Function 9 Independent Variable 10 Nerve cell function 11 Controlled Variable 12 Muscle Cell Function STRUCTURE: jelly-like with spindly fibers that help it to stick to other cells STRUCTURE: Long cells allow them to stretch out long distances AND have large ends to connect to the next cell for easier communication The variable that is made different in an experiment The variable that is kept the same in an experiment FUNCTION: to contract so that they can move body parts A cell that has a specific function, different from other cells. FUNCTION: Holds the different body parts together STRUCTURE: Contains more mitochondria for greater energy production AND are able to change their length FUNCTION: carry electrical impulses (information) to different parts of the body STRUCTURE: Multiple cells are tightly packed so items cannot pass through these AND have a top/bottom that is strong and difficult to penetrate. The variable that is measured in and experiment FUNCTION: Lines the surfaces of blood vessels, organs, and skin for protection and separation of those items from the environment
