Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A new multi-cellular organism is found to have "Pumping Chambers," "Fluid Tubes," and "Gas-Exchange Filters." Map these to the correct Levels of Organization and predict the name of the Organ System they likely form.

  • Solution: The pumping chambers and filters are Organs. The fluid tubes are likely Tissues or part of organs. Together, they likely form a Respiratory or Circulatory Organ System.
  • Hint: Use the heart and lungs as your guide for comparison.

💡 Hint: Use the heart and lungs as your guide for comparison.

Challenge 2 Hard

Critique the following statement: "In a multicellular organism, every cell is identical because they all belong to the same organism."

  • Solution: The statement is incorrect. While they share the same DNA, cells undergo specialization to form different tissues. For example, a nerve cell is structurally different from a muscle cell so they can perform different functions.
  • Hint: Think about why your brain feels different from your muscles.

💡 Hint: Think about why your brain feels different from your muscles.
