The structure of a given cellular component has a lot to do with its function, these relationships are called structure-function relationships.
Examples:
Cell membranes: This structure is responsable for the cell's physical integrity, it also <em>regulates it's interaction with outer molecules and other cells. </em>
Cytoplasm: Consists of a watery matrix that supports the interior cell contents. Most chemical reactions occur here with the help of enzymes.<em> The watery nature of this structure make reactions more viable.</em>
Ribosomes: Responsible for the manufacture of all proteins the organism needs through a process called transcription where mRNA is made by DNA then taking individual amino acids linking them together to create chains, forming proteins.<em> Their two subunits suggest the ability to construct proteins</em>

Secondary structures are dependent upon hydrogen bonding. The two main types of secondary structure are the a-helix and the B-sheet. The a-helix is a right-handed coiled strand.
