, Define anatomy and physiology, and explain how they're related - Correct Answer: Anatomy-The study
of the shape and structure of the body and its parts, and their relationship to each other
Physiology-The study of how the body and its parts work or function
The relationship between anatomy and physiology are that they will always correlate with each other
anatomy being the study of the actual physical organs and their structure as well as their relationship to
each other. While physiology studies how those organs work to function the whole body as organ
systems.
List and describe the major characteristics of life - Correct Answer: 1)Cell & Organization-Example each
cell can only perform the job associated with its specific function such as heart cells, brain cells etc.
2)Energy use and metabolism-To maintain their internal order, energy is needed by organisms. Energy is
utilized in chemical reactions
3)Response to environmental changes-
responds to stimuli
4)Regulation and homeostasis-internal regulation of our body to maintain a stable environment
5)Growth and development-all living things get larger and more complex throughout the organism's life
6)Reproduction
7)Biological evolution-the change over time of living organisms
List and describe the major requirements of life
1)Water
2)Food
3)Oxygen
4)Heat
5)Pressure - Correct Answer: 1)Water-A substance needed for metabolic processes as a medium for
metabolic reactions to transport substances to regulate the body
2)Food-Needed to supply energy and for the regulation of important reactions
3)Oxygen-Needed to help release energy from food substances
