the cell's structure is based on what kind of function it's supposed to do.

Study of structures?
Anatomy = study of body structures, and the relationship between these structuresHistology = study of the structure of tissuesCytology = study of structure (and function) of cells
What is the term for structure that has no use in an organism?
Vestigial StructureA vestigial structure is a structure that appears to no longer have a use in the body.
Anatomical structures that appear to be derived from a functional structure in an ancestor but that currently do not serve an important function are called?
homologous structures
What term describes parts of organisms that have a similar function but not a similar structure?
Homologous Structures
What is the relationship between structure and function?
i am not to sure but i can say that having structure even when you do not have stability can make you function better just to know you have trust in yourself!

Does the principle of complementarity of structures and function means that the structure of a part reflects its fuction?
Function reflects structure and structure determines function
What is a better indicator of the relationship between two organisms structure or function?
Structure is a better indicator of shared ancestry than function. When species share the same structure despite not needing similar structures functionally, it shows that there was almost definitely a common ancestor.
What is the term for structure that has no use in an organism?
Vestigial StructureA vestigial structure is a structure that appears to no longer have a use in the body.
What is the relationship between homologous structure and analogous structure?
Homologous structures refer to structures on different species that are similar in function and their evolutionary origin. Analogous structures are similar in function but do not share a similarity in evolutionary origin.
What structure without a present day function called?
Vestigial structures.
How do you define vestigial structure?
Vestigial structure is used in application to structures that are determined genetically but do not have the ancestral function.
What are the functions of structures?
The function of a reproductive structure is to procreate. The structures exists in order cor the creation of more organisms.
This type of structure has no clear function in some modern species?
vertigial structures
Is a sperm cell a specialised cell?
A sperm cell (gamete) is a specialised cell because it only performs one function: to fertilise an egg, and its structure relates to it's function. For example, the sperm cell's long tail helps it swim faster.
