Presentation Transcript

  1. Lesson Overview 7.4 Homeostasis and Cells

  2. The Cell as an Organism • Multicellular and unicellular organisms must achieve homeostasis, relatively constant internal physical and chemical conditions.

  3. The Cell as an Organism • In terms of their numbers, unicellular organisms dominate life on Earth. • Unicellular organisms include both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

  4. Multicellular Life • The cells of multicellular organisms are interdependent. • Cells in a multicellular organism become specialized for particular tasks and communicate with one another in order to maintain homeostasis.

  5. Levels of Organization • The specialized cells of multicellular organisms are organized into tissues, then into organs, and finally into organ systems.

  7. Cellular Communication • Cells use chemical signals to control the rate of activity and action of the cell. • Allows the cell to hold together with other cells and send signals to one another.
