Answer:

1. Biological structure of the human body

The human body is organized in different levels according to their complexity.

The levels are the folowing (increasing complexity).

1. Atom (N, O, C,..)

2. Molecule (Protein, lipids, water...)

3. Organelle (mitochondria, golgi apparatus,...)

4. Cell (blood cells, bone cell,..)

5. Tissue (connective tissue, epithelial tissue,..)

6. Organ (lungs, kidney,..)

7. Organ system (skeletal system, muscuar system,...)

8. Organism (the human body)

Each of the levels is formed by an agrupation of the previous level. For example, cells are formed by a number of organelles, and a group of cells form a tissue.

Cells are the basic units of structure of the body, and there are different types of them.

2. Homeostasis

Homeostasis is a process of the body by which the organism works to maintain a stable internal environment, while adjusting to changes in the external environment.

This process is possible because of the work of both the nervous system and the endocrine system. While the first controles the body's activities and detects the necesity of adjustments, the second regulates the activities by using hormones.

What process recharges this molecules so that it can become ATP again
alexdok [17]
<span>By rebonding with another phosphate molecule through oxidative phosphorylation, it becomes recharged and the ADP to ATP process can be restarted.

Evaluate the procedure used in this experiment by considering the properties used to identify the unknowns and the number of kno
xenn [34]

Answer: Hey! its a fellow classmate from K-12! Alright so what I put for the lab report question is :  The properties used to identify the metals were mass, length, and volume. These were the extensive properties that I used. I would propose to test <u>color, malleability, melting points</u>, and to test how shiny or dull it is. I would propose these to increase the <em>certainty</em> in the identity of the metals.  Btw, please mark me brainliest.

Explanation: When it says evaluate It pretty much means " tell me what you used to figure out the identity of the unknown metals".

The part where it says " propose, revise...blah...blah blah means " How could you increase your chance to get the right metal identity, henceforth saying what properties and tools could we use to make this experiment more better; better chances of getting the right identity of metal.
