Question

Give an example of how a cells structure relates to its function in the body

Answer 1

Adipose (Fat cells) are in essence round and plump. This relates to its function because it stores food and water. Its function is to store things and when adipose is healthy it looks plump or full.

Answer 2

Teeth are structures that can change rather readily from one mammalian species to another. The flat surface of a molar, for example, is due to its function in grinding food. Incisors take on different forms. They are used for cutting in herbivores and omnivores. They are modified into tusks in elephants. In rodents, the incisors are used for gnawing.
