How does mitochondrion structure affect its function?

What is vestigal structure?
Vestigial structures are anatomical structures of organisms in a species which are considered to have lost much or all of their original function through evolution.
What are analogous structures?
Analogous structures are features of two different species that are similar in how the function, but the structure of the two features is different. The wings of an insect and the wings of a bird are analogous structures.
How are structure and function similar to each other?
Cells do not all carry out the same function even though they share similar structures.
Function always follows structure is referred to as the principle of what?
The principle of complementarity of structure and function.
What is the principle of Function always follows structure?
This is known as the principle of complementarity.

What is the term for structure that has no use in an organism?
Vestigial StructureA vestigial structure is a structure that appears to no longer have a use in the body.
What is the relationship between structure and function of specialised cell structures?
the cell's structure is based on what kind of function it's supposed to do.
Study of structures?
Anatomy = study of body structures, and the relationship between these structuresHistology = study of the structure of tissuesCytology = study of structure (and function) of cells

When the anatomy of a body is intimately tied to its specific function scientists call this the principle of?

How do you define vestigial structure?
Vestigial structure is used in application to structures that are determined genetically but do not have the ancestral function.
What are the functions of structures?
The function of a reproductive structure is to procreate. The structures exists in order cor the creation of more organisms.

homologous structures
