Definition of analogous structures?
Analogous structures are body parts that serve similar functions in different species but have different evolutionary origins. They arise from convergent evolution, where different species independently develop similar traits to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches. Examples include the wings of birds and insects, which serve the same purpose of flight but have different anatomical structures.
What term describes parts of organisms that have a similar function but not a similar structure?
Analogous structures are body parts that have a similar function in different species but have evolved separately, thus not sharing a common ancestor. These structures result from convergent evolution, where organisms adapt to similar environmental pressures.
Which cells has a function most similar to electrial wire?
Neurons in the nervous system have a function most similar to electrical wires, as they transmit electrical signals through their structure to communicate messages between different parts of the body.
Why don't plant cells have centrioles?
Plant cells do not have centrioles because they use a different structure called the microtubule organizing center to help with cell division. This structure serves a similar function to centrioles in animal cells.
When cells that are similar in structure and function join together they form?
Groups of similar cells working together for a similar function are called tissues. The four tissue types are; connective, nervous, epithelial, and muscular.tissuesTissues
How are the parts of the birds and fish similar in structure and function?

What is homologous organs and analogous organ?
Homologous organs have similar looking structure and similar origin but different functions . Whereas analogous is just the opposite analogous organs are those that have similar function but different origin and structure
What structure in the cell performs a function similar to a function of the human lungs?
Structure 4
Which structure of a bacteria cell performs a similar function to the skin of a human?
The structure of a bacteria cell that performs a similar function to the skin of a human is the cell wall.
What is level of organization where a group of similar cells perform the same function?
Cells with similar function and/or structure make up tissues in the body.
Which structure in the human body is similar in function to leaves?
the alveoli

What does homologue mean?
Similarity bewtween characteristics and traits because if a shared ancestory, Body parts that are similar in structure and function in different animals
What are anologus organs?
Analogous organs are structures in different species that have similar functions but different evolutionary origins. They have evolved independently to serve the same function in response to similar environmental pressures, rather than being inherited from a common ancestor. This is an example of convergent evolution.
What describes part of organisms that have a similar function but not a similar structure?
Analogous structures fit your definition.
How are structure and function similar to each other?
Cells do not all carry out the same function even though they share similar structures.
What kind of structuree has body parts that share common function but not strucure?
The type of structure where body parts share a common function but not a common structure is known as analogous structures. These structures arise through convergent evolution, where different species independently evolve similar traits to adapt to similar environments or challenges. A classic example is the wings of bats and the wings of butterflies; both serve the function of flight but are structurally different.
