Question

directions: drag the cell function description to match the correct cell shape/structure description. the specialized cells of multicellular organisms typically illustrate the idea that “form fits function.” match the description of the cells below with the function they would most likely perform (16 points) thin, cylindrical cells that can lengthen and shorten flat cells that can link tightly to one another long and thin cells covered with insulation flattened discs with a large amount of surface area pulling on bones to help the body move transporting o2 and co2 throughout the body forming a protective barrier on the bodys surfaces sending electrochemical signals between parts of the body

Explanation:

1. Thin, cylindrical cells that can lengthen and shorten are muscle cells which pull on bones to help the body move.
2. Flat cells that can link tightly to one another form a protective barrier on the body's surfaces, like epithelial cells.
3. Long and thin cells covered with insulation are nerve cells which send electrochemical signals between parts of the body.
4. Flattened discs with a large amount of surface area are red - blood cells which transport O2 and CO2 throughout the body.

Answer:

1. thin, cylindrical cells that can lengthen and shorten - pulling on bones to help the body move
2. flat cells that can link tightly to one another - forming a protective barrier on the body's surfaces
3. long and thin cells covered with insulation - sending electrochemical signals between parts of the body
4. flattened discs with a large amount of surface area - transporting O2 and CO2 throughout the body
