THE CELL STRUCTURE
6. Complete the following chart below.
Scenario Cell Structure Justification
When you suffer from a cold, plasma B
cells in your bloodstream are rapidly
synthesizing and secreting antibodies,
(specialized proteins with the ability to
target the virus).
A sperm cell needs a lot of energy to power
its rapid movement.
Certain white blood cells such as
neutrophils kill bacteria by producing
hydrogen peroxide.
To trap particles of debris and prevent them
from getting deep into the lungs, cells
along the respiratory tract synthesize
mucus (a glycoprotein, a protein with
carbohydrates).

observed in the laboratory, and (b) a function that the structure complements.
