4) Organ Level
5) Organismic Level

Question 6

What is the Chemical Level

Answer 6

The level of organization with the smallest components. Includes all atoms and molecules in the body.

Question 7

Describe the Cellular level

Answer 7

Question 8

What are the structural and functional components of cells

Answer 8

Organelles

Question 9

Tissue level: how is tissue made

Answer 9

Tissues are groups of cell that usually arise from a common ancestor and work together to preform a particular function.

Question 10

What are the basic types of tissues in the body?

Answer 10

Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, Nervous

Question 11

What is the function of Epithelial tissue

Answer 11

Cover body surfaces, Lines hollow organs, body cavities and ducts.

Question 12

Connective tissue does what

Answer 12

Protects and supports the body and its organs. Binds organs together, stores energy reserves as fat and provides immunity.

Question 13

What are muscle tissue responsible for

Answer 13

Movement and generation of force

Question 14

Nervous tissue functions include

Answer 14

Initiates and transcripts action potential that help coordinate body activities

Question 15

Organ level is made up of

Answer 15

Different kinds of tissues that combine to make different organs that are through out the body

Question 16

Organs are

Answer 16

Structures that are composed of two or more different types if tissue, have specific functions and usually have recognizable shapes.

Question 17

What level is the larges level

Answer 17

Organismic level

Question 18

Describe the Organismic level

Answer 18

All the parts of the body functioning with one another comprise the total organism - one living individual/ animal.

Question 19

What are the important life processes

Answer 19

1) Metabolism
2) Responsiveness
3) Movement
4) Growth
5) Differentiation

Question 20

What is Metabolism

Answer 20

The sum of all the chemical processes that occur in the body.

Question 21

Phases of Metabolism

Answer 21

I) Catabolism

II) Anabolism

Question 22

What is catabolism

Answer 22

Involves breaking down large, complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones.

Question 23

Describe anabolism

Answer 23

The use of energy from catabolism to build the structural and functional components of the body

Question 24

What is responsiveness

Answer 24

The ability to detect and respond to changes in the external or environment. Different cells detect different sorts of changes and respond in characteristic ways.

Question 25

Movement is

Answer 25

Motion of the whole body, individual organs, single cell or even organelles inside cells

Question 26

Define growth

Answer 26

increase in size that results from an increase in the number or size of cells.

Question 27

What is the change cells undergo to develop form unspecialized to a specialized state

Answer 27

Differentiation

Question 28

What is the difference between specialized and unspecialized cells

Answer 28

Specilized cells have structural and functional characteristics that differ from their undifferentiated ancestor cells.
