How are structure and function related in living things?

Answer 1

One example would be your teeth. Of course you use all your teeth to eat but each tooth has a job .For example your front teeth are to cut not chew and your back teeth were to chew not to cut.

Answer 2

The function is the job a organelle does. The structure is the shape of the organelle, or materials it is made out of. In a ribosome, for example, it needs the amino acids to make proteins. In the cell membrane, it needs the phospholipids to be facing head, tail, head, to form the barrier between the cell and it's surroundings. In the chloroplast, it needs carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water to do it's job. A cytoskeleton needs the right structure to be able to hold up a cell. It also needs proteins to be there at all.
