FSSA Review: Life Science

What is the function of nervous tissue?

• Nervous tissue provides structural support to organs.

• Nervous tissue stores energy for the body.

• Nervous tissue transmits signals throughout the body, allowing for communication and coordination of bodily functions.

• Nervous tissue produces hormones for regulating bodily functions.

What is the significance of excreting waste?

• It helps in the absorption of nutrients.

• It is essential for maintaining homeostasis and preventing the buildup of harmful substances in the body.

• It increases the body's energy levels.

• It aids in the growth of new cells.

What are adaptations?

• Traits or behaviors that enhance an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment.

• Physical characteristics that are inherited from ancestors and do not change over time.

• Random changes in an organism's DNA that have no effect on survival.

• Temporary changes in behavior in response to environmental stimuli.

What is the common characteristic of nervous tissue and muscle tissue?

• Both are made of groups of similar cells that work together to perform specific functions.

• Both are composed of connective tissue that supports the body.

• Both are involved in the production of hormones.

• Both are primarily responsible for the immune response.

What are the main components of the human body organization?

• Cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems

• Atoms, molecules, cells, and tissues

• Bones, muscles, organs, and systems

• Nerves, blood, organs, and cells

What is a Eukaryote?

• A type of cell that contains a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, found in organisms such as plants, animals, and fungi.

• A type of cell that lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, typically found in bacteria.

• A type of organism that can photosynthesize, such as plants and some algae.

• A type of cell that is only found in multicellular organisms, such as humans and animals.

What is the importance of cellular regulation?

• Cellular regulation ensures that cellular processes occur at the right time and in the right amounts, maintaining homeostasis.

• Cellular regulation is only important during the cell division process.

• Cellular regulation has no significant impact on overall organism health.

• Cellular regulation is primarily concerned with energy production.

What is the role of the environment in shaping adaptations?

• The environment has no impact on adaptations.

• The environment influences which adaptations are beneficial for survival and reproduction, leading to natural selection.

• The environment only affects physical traits, not behaviors.

• The environment determines the genetic makeup of organisms.

What is the function of muscle tissue?

• Muscle tissue is responsible for movement in the body, including voluntary and involuntary actions.

• Muscle tissue is primarily involved in the production of hormones.

• Muscle tissue serves as a storage site for energy in the form of fat.

• Muscle tissue is responsible for the transmission of nerve impulses.

What is homeostasis?

• The process by which organisms reproduce and grow.

• The ability of a cell or organism to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions.

• The method by which cells communicate with each other.

• The way organisms adapt to their environment over time.
