Levels of Cellular Organization FHS
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A single cell existing alone | unicellular |
| give examples of single celled organisms | bacteria, algae, protozoans |
| Loosely attached groups of cells All are the same in structure / function May exhibit coordination of movement, etc. volvox | colonial |
| Many cells “cellular specialization” Specialized cells for specialized functions ie. Different cell types making up the individual ex. neurons, epithelial cells, muscle cells, etc. | multicellular organisms |
| Groups of similar cells performing a common function Ex. Epithelial tissue lining the digestive tract | tissues |
| cover body surfaces and line body cavities. Typically form flat sheets of tissue Ex. Skin, inside cheek, lining intestines | epithelial tissue |
| supports other body tissues and binds tissues to organs Cells are widely separated Ex. Adipose (stores fat), tendons, bones | connective tissue |
| transports nutrients and wastes O2 and CO2 to / from cells | blood |
| conduction of nerve impulses | nerve tissue |
| specialized for contraction | muscle tissue |
| give an example of cardiac tissue | heart |
| attach to bones / allow for voluntary movement | skeletal tissue |
| found in organs / allow for involuntary movement | smooth tissue |
| A group of tissues working together to perform a specific function Ex. stomach | organs |
| A group of organs working together to perform a common function Ex. Digestive system | organ system |
| list the levels of organization | Atoms Molecules Cells Tissues Organs Organ systems |
