From a Cell to an Organism 31 Name Date MiniLab Class LESSON 2: 25 minutes How do cells work together to make an organism? In a multicellular organism, similar cells work together and make a tissue. A tissue can perform functions that individual cells cannot. Tissues are organized into organs, then organ systems, then organisms. How can you model the levels of organization in an organism? Procedure 1. Read and complete a lab safety form. 2. Your teacher will give you a cardboard shape, macaroni, and a permanent marker. 3. The macaroni represents cells. Use the marker to draw a small circle on each piece of macaroni. This represents the nucleus. 4. Arrange and glue enough macaroni pieces on the blank side of the cardboard shape to cover it. Your group of similar cells represents a tissue. 5. One of the squares on the back of your shape is labeled A, B, C, or D. Find the group that has the matching letter. Line up these squares, and use tape to connect the two tissues. This represents an organ. 6. Repeat step 4 with the squares labeled E or F. This represents an organ system. 7. Connect the organ systems by aligning the squares labeled G to represent an organism. 1. Each group had to work with other groups to make a model of an organism. Do cells, tissues, and organs need to work together in organisms? Explain. 2.

From a Cell to an Organism 39 Name Date Enrichment Class LESSON 2 Stem-Cell Treatments Until recently, scientists thought that the central nervous system could not repair itself. Damage to this human body system was thought to be permanent. New research, however, has opened the door to treating injuries and diseases of the central nervous system. Some of this research focuses on embryonic stem (ES) cells. Unspecialized Cells A Controversial Treatment ES cells that are programmed as nerve or brain cells could be used to treat spinal cord injuries, which occur to approximately 11,000 Americans each year. In addition, they could potentially be used to treat Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. However, ES cells are often taken from Looking Ahead Scientists are encouraged by their rapid progress with ES cell treatment. However, many years of experimentation and research lie ahead. Moral and ethical issues must be addressed as well. In the meantime, people who have sustained damage to their central nervous systems continue to hold out hope for a long-term cure. Applying Critical-Thinking Skills Directions: Respond to each statement. 1. Explain which characteristic of stem cells makes them suited to treating injuries or diseases of the central nervous system. 2. Compose Use of ES cells remains a controversial issue. Write a letter to a newspaper editor explaining your views on this issue. Support your letter with facts from the article. 40 From a Cell to an Organism Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Recall that stem cells are unspecialized cells that can develop into many different cell types. Scientists have found that ES cells from fetal tissue have the potential to develop into nearly every kind of cell in the human body. They are “unprogrammed” cells that can take on the characteristics of specialized cells, including nerve or brain cells that do not readily repair themselves. This means ES cells might be able to repair nerves, grow tissues, or grow entire organs. aborted fetuses or from embryos made in test tubes. Thus, use of ES cells raises ethical and moral issues. Scientists have attempted to address these issues by using ES cells from the embryos of animals such as mice and hamsters. For example, using adult rats with damaged spinal cords, scientists have found that transplanted ES cells triggered the production of myelin. Myelin is the protective coating that insulates nerves. This coating is often damaged or destroyed in the nerves of people with spinal cord injuries. If the coating were restored, the function of the nerve might also be restored. For people confined to a wheelchair, that could mean regaining the movement of a limb or control of bladder function.

A client has asked for an illustration of one of the different organ systems that work together to make the human body function. Your supervisor has asked you to research an organ system of your choice. You must sketch the organ system, describe its function, and include captions and labels that identify the major organs, tissues, and cells. This is a rush job, so you have only three days to complete your assignment. From a Cell to an Organism 41
