Summary Introduction

To determine:

The correct sequence of levels forming structural hierarchy is

  1. organ, organ system, cellular, chemical, tissue, organismal

  2. chemical, cellular, tissue, organismal, organ, organ system

  3. chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organismal

  4. organismal, organ system, organ, tissue, cellular, chemical

Answer to Problem 1RQ

Solution:

(c) Chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organismal: In a human body, there are six main levels of structural organization.

Explanation of Solution

The structural organization begins at the simplest level, that is, the chemical level. This level includes the simplest building blocks composed of matter such as atoms and molecules. This level is followed by the cellular level, which is made up of the cell. The cell is considered as the smallest, as well as the functional, unit of living organisms that can exist on its own. The cellular level is followed by the tissue, organ, organ system, and organismal level.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
