3) humans have specialized organ systems compared to smaller organisms because
A) we have to interact with our environment and smaller organisms do not.
B) smaller organisms do not need as many nutrients.
C) our cells are larger.
D) small organisms do not do the same processes than humans do.
there is multicellularity and increased size in larger organisms.ANS: e

4) think about the definitions of anatomy and of physiology. the relationship between
these two fields is best described by the following statement:
A) anatomy is the study of function.
B) all structures are derived from an ancestral structure.
C) physiology becomes more complex over time.
D) structure follows function.
organs that have similar function also have similar structure.ANS: d
