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

Theoretically, how might researchers disrupt signal transduction pathways as possible treatments for cancer?
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

d. disrupt the function of protein kinases involved in cell cycle regulation.

Explanation:

Protein kinases which are useful in cell cycles have major roles in the formation of tumors. So many of these protein kinases go through mutations. Cell cycles would be unable to be stoped and tumor would keep increasing.

A lot of receptors are G protein coupled. So it is going to be really helpful to alter and make G protein receptors to be inactive. Most if these kinases go through means of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. Targeting these would cause disruption in signal transduction in cells with cancer

Allergies. The most common one I think is gluten.
