Question

A correlation exists between the structure and function of a cell
Options
A True
Correct Answer
B False
C
D
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

This is a fundamental principle of biology, often called the structure-function relationship. The way a cell (or any biological structure) is built directly relates to the job it performs. For example, the long, tail-like structure of a sperm cell allows it to swim, and the thin, flat shape of a red blood cell maximizes its surface area for gas exchange.

Hint

Think about how the shape of a cell is perfectly suited for its specific job.
