<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>\Large\textbf{Organ System}</h2>

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>\huge\textbf{Levels of Biological Organization}</h2>

  1. Cell - The smallest unit of life. Example: Red Blood Cell
  2. Tissue - A group of similar cells that perform a specific function. Example: Muscle Tissue
  3. Organ - A structure within an organism usually composed of several tissue types that form a functional unit. Example: Stomach
  4. Organ System - Two or more organs working together in the execution of a specific bodily function. Example: Respiratory System
  5. Multicellular Organism - An individual living thing. Example: A single H.o.m.o Sapiens(Human Being).
  6. Specie - Very similar, potentially interbreeding organism. Example: All cats, dogs, humans.
  7. Population - Members of one species inhabiting the same area. Example: Population of people living in USA
  8. Community - Two or more populations of different species living and interacting in the same area. Example: Cats and Hooomans living together in the same area or house.
  9. Ecosystem - A community together with its non-living surroundings. Example: Pond Ecosystem
  10. Biosphere - Different Ecosystems altogether makes Biosphere. Example: Planet Earth is biosphere

I have attached the picture also.

\huge\textbf{Examples of Organ System}

\Large\textbf{Animal:}

There are different Organ or Body Systems working together in animals making it most advanced type of living being on the planet.

  • Digestive System:

It is also called Gastrointestinal(GI) System. The GI system starts from mouth and ends at anus. All the organs between and including the mouth and anus comes under GI system.

The GI system intakes food and breaks it down into small and diffusable nutrients and excretes the solid waste products. One of the most important purposes of food is to serve as cellular fuel. Also, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats can all be used by our cells as sources of the energy that they need to stay alive.

  • Cardiovascular System

Cardiovascular system provides a transit way for the Products. It includes heart, Veins, Arteries, Capillaries.

It moves blood, hormones, nutrients etc. The main function of the cardiovascular system is therefore to maintain blood flow to all parts of the body, to allow it to survive. Veins deliver used blood from the body back to the heart.

<h2>----------------------------------------------------------------------</h2>

\Large\textbf{Plants:}

A plant has two organ systems

  • The Shoot System - The shoot system is above ground and includes the organs such as leaves, buds, stems, flowers and fruits
  • The Root System - The root system supports the plants and absorbs water and minerals, is usually underground.

To find the graphical solution when adding vectors, you can draw a(n) ____ from the starting point to the ending point.
ehidna [41]

Answer:

arrow (which creates the resultant vector)

Explanation:

When you use the graphing technique when adding vectors, you can use the head to tail method to draw the vectors. And from the starting point or the tail of the first vector you drew, you will draw an arrow touching heads with the head of the last vector drawn.

With that, you can use a ruler to measure the resultant vector's magnitude, and use a protractor to measure it's direction.

Below is an example:

Let:

V1 = Vector 1

V2 = Vector 2

R - resultant vector.
