Want this question answered?
A cell shape is how it look, what shape it's in. While as a cells function is what it does for the plant or animal. For example a cells function could be to make proteins necessary for the body.
The shape of the cell determines its function. A good example of specialized cell shape is the neuron. They must be very long and lean to permit the nervous system to function. Another example is epithelial cells, as well as skin cells, which bind tightly to one another to form a constant sheet.
The shape of the cell determines its function function because take for example skin cells. They are flat and protect the cell like it's function. Addition: Red blood cells have an indent on which they carry and transport oxygen molecules.
They are relatedbecause a function is when something goes in it and comes out again differently. A cell has a membrane and it lets things in and sorts them out so when they come back out they are different. A shape has a perimeter and an area. The area is the inside of the shape and the perimeter is the outside. So they are related by the fact that they all either go in and come out differently or the fact that the inside and the outside is differently. (By the way I am only 11 years old!!!!)
Take for example a skin cell. It is flat. When you go swimming it protects the body like it's function.
Size and shape are directly related to structure and function of said cell. Also, for example, plant cells are often in rectangles as they have cell walls where as animal cells are often 'blobby' because they have a cell wall and no cell membrane
The shape of cell depends on the specific function it does.
The biconcave shape of the red blood cell increases its surface area, this means theres a higher probability that oxygen will bind with the cell.
structureThe shape of the protein will determine the cell. It will also determine the function of the cell.
The shape of the plant cell relates to its function directly. For instance, the epithelium has a large surface area due to its function of absorption.
The Cell Membrane maintains the shape of the cell!
A red blood cell has no nucleus and a biconcave shape. This structure allows it to carry oxygen more efficiently.
