How is a system organized?
The places people live are organized in a system. Do you live in or near a city? Cities
contain things such as schools and stores that enable them to function on their own. Many
cities together make up another level of organization.

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.

Did you know?
Cells make up tissues in organisms, and tissues are organized into organs and organ
systems. Cells are differentiated, which means they have different structures and
carry out specific functions.
For this activity, you will design an investigation of an aspect of cell structure or function
that interests you.
1. Write a Question Think about what interests you in the roles cells play in the functions
of different tissues. Write a question that will be the basis of your investigation.
2. Form a Hypothesis Based on what you know about cells and tissues, what do you

3. Develop a Method Determine the best method to answer your investigation question.
What will you look for? Write your method below.

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.

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.

Your are an illustrator working for a small company. 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.
