Chapter 4, Problem 9TYU
FOCUS ON ORGANIZATION Considering some of the characteristics that define life and drawing on your new knowledge of cellular structures and functions, write a short essay (100-150 words) that discusses this statement: Life is an emergent property that appears at the level of the cell. (Review the section on emergent properties in Concept 1.1)

The plasma membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm are the three main parts of the cell. Describe these parts and explain how they work together to bring about 'Homeostasis" within each cell.
Cells are highly organized structures with parts that perform specific functions.
Starting from the cell membrane with its incomparable abilities not only to provide
shape and flexibility to the cell but also to determine the nature of its interaction with
its environment. For you to recognize these functions,
make an illustration (with a title)
that shows a place which resembles a cell membrane. Also, write the things that you
think they are similar.
Organisms in temperature zones are able
to time their activities to cues given by the
photoperiod, since:
O A. All organisms have a biological
clock.
OB. All organisms need time to rest.
C. Light is a limiting factor.
OD. Day length is always constant
for a specific locality and
season.

Describe your journey through the cell after the nucleus has given the instructions to have you made. Describe how each organelle affects your journey as you travel through the cell and, ultimately, through the cell membrane. Organelles you should mention include the nucleus, nuclear membrane, nucleolus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm, Golgi body, and plasma/cell membrane.

- In biology, the phrase "form fits function" is often used to describe the relationship between a particular structure and the job that structure has to do. This is easily seen in the structure and functions of the organelles and other components seen in the bacterial, plant, or animal cell. In 3 or 4 sentences, describe the structure and function of two different organelles or cellular components. In your answer, address the following for two separate organelles: Briefly describe the structure of two different organelles, including the name of each organelle. Describe how each of the two particular structures helps that organelle to do its job. Be specific!arrow_forwardTo understand how cells function as the fundamental unit of life, you must first become familiar with the individual roles of the cellular structures and organelles.

Choose 5 or more cellular structures and write an analogy about how those structures function together in an everyday system. The analogous system should be something you already know (e.g., football organization, factory, etc.).
