Answer: A cell is defined as the smallest functional units of the body

Explanation:

These cells are grouped together to form tissues, each of which has a specialised function, example blood, muscles, bone. Different tissues are grouped together to form organs with a special function. For example heart is an organ made up of muscles tissue, connective tissue, nervous tissue and vascular tissue. These tissues work in a coordinated manner and enable the heart to carry out the broader function of pumping blood continuously.

While organs are grouped together to form systems, each of which performs a particular function that maintains the body Internal environment and contribute to the health of the individual. For example the digestive system is responsible for taking in, digesting and absorbing food which involves a number of organs, including the stomach and intestines.

Therefore the statement that 'organs are large structures that keeps us alive" is a correct claim.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

3' - CCGTAATGTGATCCGGA - 5'

Explanation:

In DNA, the leading strand builds from a 5' to 3' direction and the lagging strand (complementary strand) must build from a 3' to 5' direction.

The base-pairing rules for DNA are:

- adenine always pairs to thymine (A to T) (T to A)

- guanine always pairs to cytosine (G to C) (C to G)
