SC235: Human Biology Unit 4 Assignment: The Complexity of Human Organs Name:marco alvarez Please address each question and submit the completed worksheet to the Unit 4 Assignment Dropbox when completed. Part I: Hierarchy of Human Organization and Cell Theory: Review the hierarchy of human organization in the textbook and then click on the blank to type the missing word in the definition. 1. A(n) molecule is a combination of atoms bonded together. 2. A(n) organelle is a component or “little organ” within a cell that carries ouWt a specific function. 3. The cell is the smallest unit of life 4. A(n) tissue is a group of cells that work together to serve a specific function. 5. A(n) organ is a group of tissues that work together to serve a specific function 6. A(n) organ system is a group of organs working together to serve a specific function. 7. A(n) organism is an individual form of life composed of many cells, organs and tissues. 8. The unified cell theory states that a cell is the smallest unit of life; cells make up all living things, and new cells can only arise from pre-existing cells. 9. Bacterial cells are classified as prokaryotes. Human cells are animal cells and are classified as eukaryote because they have a well-defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Part II: Organelles: Select the correct cell organelle from the dropdown menu. Note that you may have to scroll down to see the full list of organelles. 1. Regulates movement of materials in and out of the cell 2. The material surrounding the nucleus 3. Digests substances brought into the cell and destroys parts of the cell 4. Provides cell with energy through the breakdown of glucose during cellular respiration 5. Contains DNA and controls cellular activity 6. Produces components of ribosomes (RNA and proteins) 7. Site where protein synthesis begins 8. Studded with ribosomes and produces membrane 9. Detoxifies drugs and produces membranes
10. Sorts, modifies and packages proteins Part III: Tissues & Organs 1. Complete the table below by listing the four specific tissue types found within the human body and describe the function of each tissue. Tissue Type Function 1. connective tissue Supports other tissue and binds them together 2. epithelial tissue Provides coverage to linings and skin 3.muscle tissue Provides voluntary and unvoluntary movement 4.nervous tissue Provides communication such as brain and muscle communication 2. Select one of the following organs and fill in the table based on your selected organ: Heart Lung Kidney Skin Liver Stomach The table should: a. Identify at least three tissue types found within your selected organ. b. List and describe at least three cell types found within your selected organ. Your description should address whether these cell types have any special structures (e.g. , presence of microvilli and/or abundance of particular organelle such as mitochondria) and ho w they contribute to the overall function of the organ. Selected Organ: _ __liver ____________ Three tissue types in selected organ Three cells in selected organ Description of each cell type (Include any special structures or abundance of a particular organelle in your description) Describe how the cell or tissue contributes to the overall function of the organ (Keep the specific characteristics of the cell/tissue in mind) 1.epithelial – blood vessels Hepatocytes Hepatocytes are the most abundant found in liver tissue. Function protein and carbohydrate metabolism and detoxification of various compounds and immune function Hepatocytes provide stored energy by the form of glycogen as well as the metabolism of important vitamins and minerals
