Further detail
📌 En els organismes pluricel·lulars complexos, les cèl·lules aïllades no poden respondre a totes les necessitats, de manera que s’especialitzen i s’organitzen en estructures amb funcions noves.
Cells → tissues → organs → systems/apparatuses → homeostasis
1. What does cell theory identify as the smallest living structures in the human body?
2. Which sequence correctly describes how levels of organization are arranged in the human body?
3. What is homeostasis in the human body?
What does the cellular theory state about cells?
Cells are the smallest living structures in the human body performing all vital functions.
How are cells organized in the human body?
Cells organize into tissues, which form organs, then systems or apparatuses.
What do coordinated organ systems maintain in the human body?
They maintain homeostasis.
What is homeostasis?
The maintenance of internal environment balance by coordinated systems.
Why do cells in complex multicellular organisms specialize?
Because isolated cells cannot meet all needs alone.
What results from cell specialization in complex organisms?
Cells organize into structures with new functions.
