Shape (biconcave disks) - increases surface area, enhancing rate of diffusion of oxygen across their plasma membranes
Lack nuclei - leaves more space for hemoglobin (the protein that transports oxygen)
Lack mitochondria (therefore anaerobic metabolsim) - more efficient as none of the oxygen that the cell is transporting is consumed by the cell

Cell structure determines cell function
How does the structure of a bone cell relate to its function?
The structure of a bone cell will directly relate to its function. For instance, in the lamellae, there is collagen which will provide the tensile strength to the bones.

How is the function and structure of a red blood cell related?
A red blood cell has no nucleus and a biconcave shape. This structure allows it to carry oxygen more efficiently.
How does the structure of sperm cells relate to the function?
Its head can use to penetrate to egg cell and tail can use to move.
How does structure relate to its function?
structures have different composition . they are made up of different thing every structure is different from other. function of structure depend upon its composition for example mitochondria is known as power house of the cell it provide energy to the cell and centriolles play different function for the cell because of its different composition
How cells structures relate to it function?
Its structure determines the function it has. For example, red blood cells are biconcave discs, kind of thinner in the middle and thicker around the outside. As it turns out this is the ideal surface area to volume ratio for exchanging things between the inside of the cell and outside. When you consider that the function of red blood cells to carry oxygen to the cells of the body the structure of the RBC is ideally suited to its function.
How does cell structure relate to function?
The structure of a cell determines its function by providing the organelles and components needed to carry out specific tasks. For example, mitochondria are responsible for energy production due to their inner membrane structure optimized for ATP synthesis. Differentiation in cell structure allows for specialization in function, such as cilia in epithelial cells for movement and microvilli for absorption.
How is the structure of a cell different from the function of the cell?
actually, there is no difference between the structure and function. The structure usually corresponds with the function. for example, red blood cells are circular shaped so they can easily move through the weins and arteries.
How does the structure of an organelle relate to its function?
The structure of an organelle is directly related to its function. For example, the double membrane structure of the mitochondria provides compartments for different stages of cellular respiration. The shape and internal organization of an organelle determine how it carries out its specific role in the cell.
