What are some examples of how a cell's structure relates to its function in the body?

Biology

irakobra [83]3 years ago

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.

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

Why are there more debates then answers when discussing stem cell research
Talja [164]

Hello, Leah082656. There are many heated arguments over discussing stem cell research because of these two moral principals: the duty to prevent or alleviate suffering and the duty to respect the value of human life. In order to get embryonic stem cells, the embryo has to be destroyed. Although this is a huge controversial problem, by researching this could actually save and treat many other people. Some people are for it because it saves multiple people in the process, and some do not like this because it is killing an embryo. Whatever your stance is on this debate, these are the two sides that people debate over. I hope I helped!! Have a great day. :)

<h2>Urea </h2>

Explanation:

Urea is a small nitrogenous compound which is the main end product of protein catabolism in mammals

  • Urea is a nitrogen-containing substance normally cleared from the blood by the kidney into the urine
  • It is made predominantly in the liver from ammonia and bicarbonate and is one of the main components of urine
  • The rate of synthesis varies from 300 to 600 mmol/day depending on the protein intake
  • All of this urea eventually finds its way into the urine
  • Because urea makes up a large part of the obligatory solute excretion, its osmotic pressure requires significant volumes of water to carry the urea
  • Urea passively crosses biological membranes, but its permeability is low because of its low solubility in the lipid bilayer
  • Some cells speed up this process through urea transporters, which move urea by facilitated diffusion
  • Urea is passively reabsorbed in the proximal tubule, but its route of transport is not clear
  • Urea transporters have not yet been identified for the proximal tubule
