●● Cell:
Answer: - the basic unit of all living organisms
●● Tissue:
Answer: - an integrated group of similar cells that performs a specific
function within multicellular organisms
●● Organ:
Answer: - a structure consisting of two or more tissues that coordinate to
perform a specific function
●● Organ system:
Answer: - a team of organs that work together
●● Organism:
Answer: - a living being
,- depends on the coordination of all structural levels for homeostasis and
survival
●● Place these levels of biological organization in order from largest to
smallest: cell, organ, organ system, organism, tissue
Answer: - organism, organ system, organ, tissue, cell.
●● Anatomy:
Answer: - the study of the structure of an organism's parts
●● Physiology:
Answer: - the study of the function of an organism's parts
●● What does 'form fits function' mean?
Answer: - natural selection refines biological structure by screening for
the most effective variations among individuals of a population
(variations that are most advantageous in the current environment)
- generations of selecting for what works best in a particular
environment will fit structure to function without any goal-oriented plan
●● Bird wings are hollow, which makes them lighter. How does this
illustrate the structure-function principle?
, Answer: - the structure of the wing, with hollow bones, makes it light-
weight, which correlates with the function of flight
●● What are the 4 main types of tissues?
Answer: - epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
●● Epithelial tissue:
Answer: - a sheet of tightly packed cells lining organs and cavities
- covers the surface of the body
- also called epithelium
●● Connective tissue:
Answer: - consists of cells held in abundant extracellular matrix
- supports and joins other tissues
●● Extracellular matrix:
Answer: - the meshwork that surrounds animal cells
- consists of a web of protein and polysaccharide fibers embedded in a
liquid, jelly, or solid
