What is a structure that don't seem to have any function but may once function in an ancestor?
An appendix in humans is a structure that seems to have little function, but it may have been more important in our ancestors for digesting cellulose. Similarly, the tailbone (coccyx) in humans is a remnant of a tail that was functional in our primate ancestors for balance and mobility.

What purpose does caffeine serve for the living plant containing it?
According to an article I once read in National Geographic, caffeine serves as an insecticide for the plant. The information was included in a cover article on coffee.
Why are ear muscles considered vestigial in humans?
Ear muscles are considered vestigial in humans because they are remnants of muscles that were once used to move the ears in order to better detect sounds, a function that is no longer necessary for survival in modern humans.

What Vestigial structures seem to lack any useful function or are at least no longer used for their original purpose?
Vestigial structures are remnants of evolutionary history that have lost their original function. Examples include the human appendix, which is thought to have once aided in the digestion of cellulose in ancestral diets, and the pelvic bones in whales and snakes, which are remnants of their land-dwelling ancestors. Another example is the wisdom teeth in humans, which were once useful for grinding down plant material but are often problematic in modern diets. These structures illustrate the process of evolution and adaptation over time.
Do Plants store glucose as cellulose?
No. They store glucose as starch, once its been converted into cellulose the change is permanent.
Is cellulose living material?
No, cellulose is not a living material. It is a complex carbohydrate that makes up the cell walls of plants and is produced by living organisms, but once it is formed, it is not considered to be living.
A list of vestigial structures?
Appendix: A small pouch that was once used for digesting cellulose, but is now thought to have a limited or no function in humans. Wisdom teeth: Third molars that were used by our ancestors for grinding tough plant material, but are now often too large for our jaws and can cause issues. Coccyx (tailbone): Remnant of a tail that our ancestors used for balance and communication, but now serves no significant purpose in humans.
Why do vestigial structures still exist in spite of natural selection?
Vestigial structures are the expressed genetic remnants indicatory of a species evolutionary past. In humans one such vestigial remnant is the coccyx, which were once part of tail structures in our primate ancestors.
Do senators serve for the rest of their life once elected?
no
What does a one to one function look like?
One to one functions on a graph can vary. To determine if a function is one to one, a horizontal line can only intersect the function once. If it intersects the function more than once, it is not a one to one function.
