  • Card 8 / 14:
    In the context of cell biology, what do we mean by form follows function? What are at least two examples of this concept?

    “Form follows function” refers to the idea that the function of a body part dictates the form of that body part. As an example, compare your arm to a bat’s wing. While the bones of the two correspond, the parts serve different functions in each organism and their forms have adapted to follow that function.
