∙ 7y agoCells function as the basic building blocks of life. All living things are made up of cells and cells are the simplest form of life. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms, whilst Eurkaryotes are organisms that can have trillions of cells in their bodies. Cells are made up of organelles and are controlled by the nucleus which contains the DNA of the organism.

2. development—as we mature, body shape changes as new structures and functions appear in the skin, the sexual organs, and other organs.
3. replacement—as old cells die, we need a way of replacing them with identical cells.
4. repair—if new cells couldn’t take the place of damaged cells, we’d look like Swiss cheese by the time we reached adolescence.

What cells perform different functions?
Different cells are different in structure because of their different functions (e.g. plant cells have cell walls because they don't have bones). Also, cells have different functions because they work together with other cells to create a working system (e.g. the human body)
You are looking through a microscope at some cells each of the cells has a different structure What can you infer about these cells?
they have different functions
Do cells in your body all have the same structure and different functions?
no
Why do cells in a developing embryo differentiate?
The cells in a developing embryo differentiate so that the cells develop different sructures so they can perform different functions.
What accounts for the fact that cells in different tissues and organisims have different functions and respond differently to their environments?
Cells in different tissues and organisms have different functions and respond differently to their environments because they are expressing different genes. Different cells can have very different physical characteristics.
What do cells have?
Cells have their different parts with different functions and properties.
What cells perform different functions?
Different cells are different in structure because of their different functions (e.g. plant cells have cell walls because they don't have bones). Also, cells have different functions because they work together with other cells to create a working system (e.g. the human body)
Are there different types of cells?
The diversity of cells reflects their different functions in organisms.
Do cells have different environments and functions?
No
Why are the cells in the stomach and gullet different?
they have different functions
What statement accurately compares cells in the human circulatory system to cells in the human nervas system?
3.cells in the nervous system are different in structure from cells in the circulatory system and they carry out different specialized functions
How do plant cells have different shapes?
To perform different functions plant cells assume different shapes
You are looking through a microscope at some cells each of the cells has a different structure What can you infer about these cells?
they have different functions
Why is the shape of liver and cheek cells different if they are both animal cells?
They have different Histological functions.
Why do cells come in different shape and sizes?
Because they have different functions
Why are shapes and sizes of cell different?
Cells are different shapes and sizes because they have different functions. The functions dictate the shapes and sizes.
Are the tissues made up of different cells?
Tissues are made up of different cells which perform similar functions.
