Specialized Cells Worksheet

The document describes different types of specialized cells in animals and plants. It includes a table with two columns - specialized cell and function/characteristics. The table is incomplete and requires the provided cell information to be organized under the correct specialized cell heading for both animal and plant cells. This will allow the complete functions and characteristics of each specialized cell type to be described.
