A community refers to the total number of populations that inhabit a
specific location or area. This is part of the levels of organization of life. Arranged from the least complex to most
complex it falls 8th in the category. Below are the organization of life:<span>
a. Organelles - the basic part of a living
organism. It refers to the different structures of the cell, whether
prokaryotic or eukaryotic. (Ex. Mitochondria, nucleus)
b. Cells - building blocks of life that are
composed of different molecules responsible for the function of an organism.
(Example: prokaryotic, eukaryotic cells)
c. Tissues - combinations of cells that carry
out a specific function in an organism. (Example: Human skin)
d. Organs - collections of tissues that perform
specific functions. (Ex. heart, lungs)
e. Organ Systems - composed of interconnected
organs that function as a whole. Many organisms, particularly mamamals, are
composed of organ systems. (Ex. respiratory, circulatory systems)
f. Organisms – individual entities that
specifically make-up a population. (Ex. Each tree in the forest is an organism,
each animal in sea is an organism)</span>
g. Population – species living within a specific location. It could be
the same or different species that inhabit a place. (Ex. Birds are species in
the forest as well as bears)
h. Community – refers to the total number of populations that inhabit a
specific location. (Ex. All of the trees, insects, birds that inhabit the
forest are a community)
i. Ecosystem – consists of all living things that function together as a
group which also includes the non-living parts of the environment. (Ex. Rain
water, nitrogen in the soil)
<span>j. Biosphere – the highest organization of life that consist of all the
collection of ecosystems in the planet. It includes the land, air, water, even
the atmosphere of the planet. </span>
A cell can only respond to signals from other cells, not from the physical environment. receptor activation. The ability of a specific tissue or organ to respond to the presence of a hormone is dependent on: the presence of the appropriate receptors on the cells of the target tissue or organ.
Another cell that shows the process of endocytosis should be drawn. When the second cell receives the protein, the model will show a folded plasma membrane around the protein. The model will show the membrane bringing the protein into the cell.
The human cell has the largest surface area to volume ratio is Sperm cell or spermatozoa and its ratio is 1.55
<u>Explanation:</u>
Spermatozoa is a uni-flagellar motile sperm cell that basically determines the sex of an offspring. It moves from the haploid male gamete,its contributes in 1/2 nuclear genetic information to diploid.
The surface area of sperm cell is measured by micro-metric method or electron mircographs using stereo-logical method. While the volume will be measured by stereology or radio label volume exclusion method. The volume and surface area inversely proportional to cell size.
