    How is the structure of cells related to their function? Cell structures come in various shapes and sizes dependent on their location within an organism and what life sustaining process it carries out. These can range from the globular protein of a red blood cell‚ designed to carry four oxygen molecules at a time to the tail like flagellum of a bacteria designed for mobility and penetration of organs within a body. There are two main types of cells‚ eukaryotic cells which are generally plant

    I. Describe the structure and function of the nucleus and mitochondria. The mitochondria is a semi-autonomous organelle which reproduces by bynary fission and has its own DNA. Its main function is to produce the energy intermediate ATP‚ through ATP synthase. Mitochondria could be considered a cell inside a cell. It has its own membranes (inner and outer membranes)‚ its ribosomes (to produce the proteins encoded in its DNA)‚ a matrix -- where aerobic respiration occurs. The invaginations of the inner
