Answer:

Cells vary greatly in shape These shapes are often related to the function they perform. like the disk shape of  erythrocytes  can absorb and transport oxygen due to increased surface area., the amoeboid shape of leukocytes allow them to squeeze through capillaries. etc.

Explanation:

Cells can be disc-like , polygonal, rectangular, cubopid thread like branched or even irregular. these are related to the functions that each cell performs.

Some examples showing relation between cell shape and function are as follows.:

  • Human blood cells are circular and biconcave to transport oxygen.
  • White blood cell are amoeboid to squeeze through thin capillaries.
  • Nerve cells are long so that they can carry nerve impulse to a long distance very quickly.

Please help!!!<br><br> What are 4 different protists and what makes them special
Alex

Answer:

Amoebalike protists, flagellates, ciliates, and spore-forming protists.

Explanation:

Protists are eukaryotes, which means their cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Most, but not all, protists are single-celled. Other than these features, they have very little in common. You can think about protists as all eukaryotic organisms that are neither animals, nor plants, nor fungi.
