How do cells adapt to their jobs?

Answer 1

Even though all cells in a multicellular organism (except sex cells) contain a complete copy of that organism's DNA, not every gene is activated in all cells. Cells are specialized in that they only synthesize proteins from the genes that are "turned on" in those particular cells. For example, islet cells in the pancreas synthesize insulin but do not make hemoglobin, although both proteins are necessary for human life.

Answer 2

Cells adapt to their jobs through a process called differentiation, where they become specialized to perform specific functions within the body. This process involves changes in gene expression that determine the cell's structure and function. Cells may also respond to signals from their environment to adjust their behavior and function accordingly.

Answer 3

The cells adapt to their jobs by traveling through various parts of the central nervous system. The oxygen in the red blood cells travel through the body diluting it as it goes along.

Answer 4

for example with a red blood cell, its job is to carry oxygen through blood because thats what it was designed for
