Question

Based on the ______, the size and the shape of the cells differ.

Answer 1

Cells have different shapes and sizes which perform different functions. Different types of cell make different proteins according to the jobs they have to do, i.e., functions. For example, red blood cells have a spherical shape that provides affinity for binding oxygen and carries around the body. If the shape of RBC is deformed, oxygen will not able to bind with the hemoglobin. Thus, based on the function, the size and shape of the cell differ.
