Answer:

Protein synthesis is the process all cells use to make proteins, which are responsible for all cell structure and function. In transcription, DNA is copied to mRNA, which is used as a template for the instructions to make protein. In the second step, translation, the mRNA is read by a ribosome. The key to a protein molecule is how the amino acids are linked. The sequence of amino acids in a protein is a type of code that specifies the protein and distinguishes one protein from another. A genetic code in the DNA determines this amino acid code.

Which two (2) statements are correct examples of the “structure determines function” relationship among specialized cells in an

Nady [450]

Answer:

A and E are the correct.

Explanation:

Examples of the structures that determine function:

a) Chloroplasts only found in plant cells. They work to fix the CO2 in the presence of light energy (sunlight) and convert the reactants into sugar molecules (carbohydrates) that can be used by cells for metabolic functioning.

e) Sperm is the male reproductive cell. Motile sperm cells have a tail-like structure that typically move via flagella and requires a water medium in order to swim toward the egg for fertilization.

Other options are not correct because they don't explain their function according to their structure.
