Give three examples to illustrate how the shape of a cell makes possible its function
Darya [45]
<span>One of the key ideas in biology is that structure always impacts function. For one, a neuron has a long axon because it helps to transmit signals from cell to cell, allowing the nervous system to function. Secondly, epithelial cells are long and thin, which allows them to cover numerous organs in the body. Finally, muscle cells are more rod-shaped and are comprised of contractile units which allows them to withstand the wear and tear of muscle movement.</span>
