Questions and Answers

Which of the following best describes the relationship between biomolecules and body systems?

  • Biomolecules are irrelevant to the functioning of body systems.
  • Body systems dictate the structure and function of biomolecules.
  • Biomolecules provide the building blocks and fuel for body systems, and their interactions influence these systems. (correct)
  • Body systems and biomolecules operate independently and do not affect one another.

How does the classification of living organisms relate to the levels of biological organization?

  • Classification reflects evolutionary relationships, which are built upon the hierarchical levels of biological organization. (correct)
  • The levels of biological organization are determined by the classification system used.
  • Classification is arbitrary and unrelated to biological organization.
  • Classification is solely based on physical appearance and ignores biological levels.

Which of the following represents the correct order of biological organization, from smallest to largest?

  • Biomolecule, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism (correct)
  • Cell, biomolecule, tissue, organ, organism, organ system
  • Organism, organ system, organ, tissue, cell, biomolecule
  • Tissue, cell, biomolecule, organ, organ system, organism

How do the structures of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids relate to their functions in the human body?

<p>The sequence of amino acids in proteins determines their structure, which then dictates their specific function, such as catalyzing reactions or providing structural support. (D)</p> Signup and view all the answers

Which of the following scenarios best illustrates the interaction between multiple body systems to maintain homeostasis?

<p>During exercise, the respiratory system increases breathing rate, while the cardiovascular system increases heart rate to deliver more oxygen to muscles, and the excretory system removes waste products. (B)</p> Signup and view all the answers

How does understanding the structure and function of biomolecules contribute to the development of new medical treatments?

<p>It allows scientists to design drugs that target specific biomolecules involved in disease, such as inhibiting a viral enzyme or blocking a receptor on a cancer cell. (B)</p> Signup and view all the answers

Which of the following is an example of how interactions between biomolecules directly impact a human body system?

<p>The interaction between actin and myosin filaments in muscle cells, enabling muscle contraction and movement within the muscular system. (B)</p> Signup and view all the answers

How does the organization of the digestive system, from the mouth to the intestines, exemplify the levels of biological organization?

<p>It illustrates how cells form tissues (e.g., muscle tissue in the stomach), tissues form organs (e.g., the stomach itself), and organs work together in an organ system (the digestive system) to carry out a specific function. (C)</p> Signup and view all the answers
