<span>Levels of OrganizationIn unicellular (single-celled) organisms,
the single cell performs all life functions. It functions independently.
However, multicellular (many celled) organisms have various levels of
organization within them. Individual cells may perform specific
functions and also work together for the good of the entire organism.
The cells become dependent on one another.Multicellular organisms have
the following 5 levels of organization ranging from simplest to most
complex:<span><span>LEVEL 1 - Cells<span><span>Are the basic unit of structure and function in living things. </span>May serve a specific function within the organismExamples- blood cells, nerve cells, bone cells, etc.</span></span><span>LEVEL 2 - Tissues<span>Made up of cells that are similar in structure and function and which work together to perform a specific activity Examples - blood, nervous, bone, etc. Humans have 4 basic tissues: connective, epithelial, muscle, and nerve.</span></span><span>LEVEL 3 - OrgansMade up of tissues that work together to perform a specific activityExamples - heart, brain, skin, etc.</span><span>LEVEL4 - Organ Systems <span>Groups of two or more tissues that work together to perform a specific function for the organism. Examples - circulatory system, nervous system, skeletal system, etc. The
Human body has 11 organ systems - circulatory, digestive, endocrine,
excretory (urinary), immune(lymphatic), integumentary, muscular,
nervous, reproductive, respiratory, and skeletal.</span></span><span> LEVEL 5 - Organisms <span> Entire
living things that can carry out all basic life processes. Meaning they
can take in materials, release energy from food, release wastes, grow,
respond to the environment, and reproduce. <span>Usually made up of organ systems, but an organism may be made up of only one cell such as bacteria or protist. </span>Examples - bacteria, amoeba, mushroom, sunflower, human</span></span></span></span>
The serosa is the outermost layer of the intraperitoneal organs (it's also considered the visceral peritoneum). In most alimentary canal organs, its made up of areolar connective tissue covered with mesothelium, a single layer of squamous epithelial cells
Describe a typical prokaryotic cell. a. It has a cell wall enclosing cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes and nucleoid region with genetic material. It may have a protective capsule, flagellum, pili and plasmids. b. It has a cell wall enclosing cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes and nucleus containing genetic material. It may have a protective capsule, flagellum, pili and plasmids. c. It has a cell wall enclosing nuclear membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes and nucleoid region with genetic material. It may have a protective capsule, flagellum, pili and plasmids. d. It has a cell wall enclosing nuclear membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria, vacuoles and nucleoid region with genetic material. It may have a protective capsule, flagellum, pili and plasmids.
<span>1. List the adaptation that ALL vertebrates have in common. The vertebrate is a subphylum of kingdom Animalia. The member of subphylum should have a spine or vertebrae. Therefore, all vertebrates should have vertebrae. All the member should have all the classification above the subphylum like cranium from craniate and notochord from chordate.
2. List all the adaptations that your chordate has (as shown on the cladogram). The frog is part of Amphibian that shown on green lines. It should have all the organ above its classification such as jaws and paired appendages, lungs(frog can live in the land), four limbs. It also has all the trait of vertebrates that was described above.
3. To which type of chordate is your chordate most closely related? If your chosen chordates are the frog, then salamander and caecilian would be the most closely related chordates. The reason is that salamanders and caecilians are also amphibians like the frog, which means they have all the trait from amphibians.
4. Why do you think endothermy appears at two points on the cladogram? Endothermy member is the chordates that have warm blood. There are two chordates that have warm blood in the cladogram, the apes(mammals) and the bird. Since the bird is classified as reptile the but the ape classified as mammals, the cladogram needs to put two </span>endothermy.<span>
5. Amniotic eggs have a waterproof membrane. What type of animals evolved from animals that lay amniotic eggs? </span>The amniotic eggs will be found on the reptile. The eggs have a waterproof membrane to prevent water comes out of the egg. Water is an important resource and if a high amount of water leak from the egg, the egg will be dried out and die. <span>
6. In what type of habitat do you think the evolution of amniotic eggs helped animals survive? Hint: In what habitat do all animals without amniotic eggs live? The amniotic eggs help an animal that lives on the dry land to make offspring. All of the animals before reptiles are living in the water and spawn their eggs there so there is no concern about losing water, thus waterproof membrane is not needed. Reptile spawns their eggs on land, so it needs a method to contain the water.</span>
True. Mendel studied hybrids by cross-fertilizing pea plants.
<h3>Mendel's experiment</h3>
Mendel performed several experiments to study how traits are inherited in living organisms. He used the pea plant as the reference organism.
Mendel was able to make several discoveries as far as trait inheritance is concerned. His works led to the law of inheritance - the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment of genes.
Mendel was able to achieve all these by carrying out cross-fertilization of pea plants based on different traits. For example, a pea plant that is true-breeding for wrinkle seeds was crossed with another pea plant that is true-breeding for smooth seeds.
