This is my revised version with a bit more details

I mean, what is a simularity between the cell function and it's structure....

mitochondria, energy cell houses, plasma, sell membranes, golgi bodies, nucleosomes.
structure depends on the dna and rna and thats what is attributed to hair color, skin color

Well, first of all, all cells are pretty darn small. They need to be small so the nucleus (containing DNA) can control everything that is going on inside the cell. Furthermore, as an object increases in size, its volume starts to outgrow its surface area. Since the surface area of a cell is its plasma membrane (which controls what enters and exits the cell), we can't have the volume outgrowing the surface area. Finally, materials are constantly having to enter and exit the cell for it to survive. If the cell is too large, it will take longer for materials to enter and exit, which would not be good. So, there is one thing all cells have in common ...they need to be small.
I hope you are not planning to copy and paste this to turn in to your biology teacher. I will tell!
