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