How are structure and function related to adaptation?

1 answer:

7 0

When you think about it, structure is often but perhaps not always necessary for function of a certain ability in any organism.

Wings for example give organisms the ability to fly, so the structure of their wings enables them to fly. Without wings, they wouldn't be able to fly (excluding free fall or using technology).

Also important is too understand that we adapt through changing our abilities - function ever so slightly from generaton to generation to adapt to a certain environment where we live, this can then change structure accordingly to ensure proper function for the new ability.

Pancreas secrets two hormones called insulin and glucagon which helps in maintaining the glucose level in the blood.

Explanation:

Pancreas secrets a hormone called as insulin, which helps the cell in absorbing the glucose by reducing the blood sugar and providing glucose for energy. On falling of the sugar level pancreas releases a hormone called glucagon. This glucagon informs the pancreas about the presence of low sugar in blood, after which it releases the stored glucose, and helps in raising the blood sugar level. Alpha cell of pancreas produces glucagon.
