Which is a behavioral characteristic passed from parent to offspring in dogs?

• barking

• fetching

• rolling over

• sitting on command

A student is creating a model to show how the human body is organized. Their model is described a follows:

the smallest unit in the model is the organ

multiple organs combine to form tissues

tissues then form cells

cells work together to create a system, which makes the entire system

What is incorrect about the student's model, and how should it b corrected to accurately represent the organization of the human body?

• The model is incorrect because tissues do not form cells; it should be corrected by showing that cells form tissues.

• The model is incorrect because organs are not part of body systems; it should be corrected by showing that systems are made only of tissues.

• The model is incorrect because cells should be the largest unit; it should be corrected by showing that tissues break down into cells.

• The model is incorrect because the system should be the smallest unit; it should be corrected by showing that system make up cells.

Why would a problem with the digestive system cause problems for all the other systems in the body?

• The other systems would be unprotected and unsupported.

• The other systems would not receive the messages from the brain.

• The other systems would not receive the necessary energy from exterior nutrients.

• The other systems would not receive the oxygen required to perform their functions.
