Study Notes
Unicellular Organisms
- Unicellular organisms are living things composed of a single cell
- They perform all life functions within that single cell
- Examples include bacteria, protists, and some fungi
Multicellular Organisms
- Made up of many cells
- Cells are organized into tissues, organs, and organ systems
- Cells perform specialized functions within the organism
Organ Systems
- Groups of organs working together to perform specific tasks
- Examples include circulatory, respiratory, digestive, musculoskeletal, and nervous systems (in humans)
- Specialized functions from different parts of a system, e.g., the circulatory system transports materials, and the respiratory system exchanges gases
Cellular Differentiation
- Process where cells become specialized to perform a specific function
- Leads to the development of cells with different shapes and structures
- Important for multicellular organisms that need diverse tasks
Tissues, Organs, and Organ Systems
- Cells organized in groups based on structure and function
- Groups of similar cells form tissues
- Tissues combine to form organs
- Multiple organs working together form organ systems
- Tissues, organs, and organ systems all work together for well-being of the organism
Nutrition
- Animals must consume food from other organisms or their products
- Food needs to be broken down into smaller parts (nutrients) that can be used
- Humans have a complex digestive system to break down food
Plants
- Obtain most nutrients directly from the environment
- Xylem vessels and phloem vessels help transport water and nutrients
- Photosynthesis: plants use sunlight to make food from water, carbon dioxide
- Excess sugars used for storage
Gas Exchange
- Multicellular organisms need to exchange gases—oxygen and carbon dioxide
- Oxygen delivered to cells for energy
- Carbon dioxide removed from cells as a byproduct
- This process happens in different ways in various organisms (e.g., lungs, skin)
Responding to the Environment
- Organisms respond to factors in their environment
- This happens through a nervous system that sends signals, leading to a response.
