1093 - How do the structure and function of an organism interact with each other.

Imagine you're building a LEGO house. The structure of the house (the walls, the roof, the foundation) works together with the function (people living in the house, using the rooms, and opening the doors).

In the same way, an organism's structure (like its cells, organs, and tissues) helps its function work properly.

For example: - The structure of lungs (how they're shaped and connected) helps with the function of breathing (taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide). - The structure of the heart (its muscles and chambers) helps with the function of pumping blood throughout the body. - The structure of the eyes (lenses, retina, and cornea) helps with the function of seeing (detecting light and sending signals to the brain).

So, the structure and function of an organism work together like a team to keep it alive and working properly!
