Solution:
Structure dictates function. Ribosomes provide another good example of structure determining function. These small cellular components are made of protein and ribosomal RNA (RNA).Their main function is to translate messenger RNA, or mRNA, into strings of amino acids called proteins.
The structure and shape of each type of human cell depends on what function it will perform in the body. For example, red blood cells (RBCs) are very small, flat discs, which allows them to easily fit through narrow capillaries and around sharp corners in the circulatory system to deliver oxygen throughout the body.
Neurons carry messages from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body, using electrical signals down their lengths and chemical signals between neurons. Since electrical signals travel much faster than chemical signals, neurons are long and thin to minimize the number of slower chemical signals that would be required between links in a chain of many shorter neurons.
The elongated shape of muscle cells allows the contraction proteins to line up in an overlapping pattern that makes muscle flexing possible.
And human sperm cells’ structures allow them to “swim” long distances to reach an egg for fertilization. They do this by using flagella, their long whip-like tails, and also by being very small, carrying little more than the DNA for a potential zygote.
This is the required answer.
To see the difference between <span>biped and a quadruped,</span> let's compare the skeletons of the man (biped) and the horse (quadruped):
*The man has the bigger pelvis: he has to bear the weight of the body.*The scapula is smaller.*The bones of the hind leg bigger.*The forearms more mobile.*The man has the spine that attaches under the skull.*And the tail that has completely regressed.
the man has adapted to standing and biped (he walks on 2 feet): his hind legs are reinforced.
Answer:
23
Explanation:
46 unreplicated chromosomes- called daughter chromosomes - each one is essentially a chromatid. The parent cell had 46 double chromosomes (2 chromatids each) - which split into two in mitosis. This means that we need to divide 46 by 2 and we get 23.
Hope this helped!

Explanation:
In simple diffusion, small molecules without charges such as oxygen and carbon dioxide flow through a plasma membrane without assistance and without expending energy. Other substances such as proteins, glucose and charged particles called ions cannot pass through the selectively permeable membrane
