Biological Hierarchy of
Organization, Homeostasis &
Overview of Organ Systems
What Is Energy?
• Capacity to do work
• Forms of energy
– Potential energy
– Kinetic energy
– Chemical energy
First Law of Thermodynamics
• The total amount of energy in the
universe remains constant
• Energy can undergo conversions from
one form to another, but it cannot be
created or destroyed
What Can Cells Do
with Energy?
• Energy inputs become coupled to
energy-requiring processes
• Cells use energy for:
– Chemical work
– Mechanical work
– Electrochemical work
Second Law of Thermodynamics
• No energy conversion is ever 100
percent efficient
• The total amount of energy is flowing
from high-energy forms to forms
lower in energy
Enzyme Structure
and Function
• Enzymes are catalytic protein
molecules
• They speed the rate at which
reactions approach equilibrium
Four Features of Enzymes
1) Enzymes do not make anything
happen that could not happen on its
own. They just make it happen much
faster.
2) Reactions do not alter or use up
enzyme molecules.
Four Features of Enzymes
3) The same enzyme usually works for
both the forward and reverse
reactions.
4) Each type of enzyme recognizes and
binds to only certain substrates.
Activation Energy
• For a reaction to
occur, an energy
barrier must be
surmounted
• Enzymes make
the energy barrier
smaller

Some Factors Influencing
Enzyme Activity
Temperature
pH
Salt concentration
Coenzymes and cofactors
Metabolic Pathways
• Defined as enzymemediated sequences of
reactions in cells
– Biosynthetic (anabolic) –
ex: photosynthesis
– Degradative (catabolic) –
ex: aerobic respiration

Main Types of
Energy-Releasing Pathways
Anaerobic pathways
Aerobic pathways
• Evolved first
• Evolved later
• Don’t require oxygen
• Require oxygen
• Start with glycolysis in
cytoplasm & completed • Start with glycolysis in
cytoplasm & completed
in cytoplasm
in mitochondria
• Very inefficient – most
of energy lost as heat • More efficient – less
energy lost as heat

Efficiency of
Aerobic Respiration
• 686 kcal of energy are released
• 7.5 kcal are conserved in each ATP
• When 36 ATP form, 270 kcal (36 X 7.5) are
captured in ATP
• Efficiency is 270 / 686 X 100 = 39 percent
• Most of the energy is lost as heat, but still
less than with anaerobic processes
Body Organization
• Tissue
– Group of cells performing same task
• Organ
– Two or more tissues performing same task
• Organ system
– Two or more organs performing same task
Tissues
• Groups of cells and intercellular
substances that interact in one or more
tasks
• Example: muscle tissue
Organs
• Group of tissues organized to perform a
task or tasks
• Example: Heart is an organ that pumps
blood through body
• Heart consists of muscle tissue, nervous
tissue, connective tissue, and epithelial
tissue
Organ Systems
• Groups of organs that interact physically
and/or chemically to perform a common
task
• Example: Circulatory system includes
heart, arteries, and other vessels that
transport blood through the body
Homeostasis
• Stable operating conditions in the
internal environment
• Brought about by coordinated activities
of cells, tissues, organs, and organ
systems
Homeostatic Mechanisms

4 Types of Tissues
• Epithelial tissues
• Connective tissues
• Muscle tissues
• Nervous tissues
Epithelial Tissues
• Line body surfaces, cavities, ducts,
and tubes
• One free surface faces a body fluid or
the environment

Connective Tissues
• Most abundant tissues in the body
• Fibroblasts secrete
– polysaccharide “ground substance” that
surrounds and supports cells
– fibers of collagen and/or elastin
Soft Connective Tissues
• Loose connective tissue
• Dense, irregular connective tissue
• Dense, regular connective tissue

Muscle Tissue
• Cells contract when stimulated
• Moves body and specific body parts
• 3 types
– Skeletal
– Cardiac
– Smooth
Skeletal Muscle
• Attaches to and moves
bones
• Long, cylindrical cells
• Striated cells
• Voluntary control
nucleus
Smooth Muscle
• Located in soft internal
organs and blood vessels
• Cells taper at ends
• Cells not striated
• Not under voluntary
control
where abutting cells meet
Cardiac Muscle
• Present only in heart
• Cells are branching
– ends of cells joined by
communication junctions
• Cells striated
• Not under voluntary control
cell nucleus
Muscle Tissues
Muscle tissues
Nervous Tissue
• Detects stimuli, integrates information,
and relays commands for response
• Consists of excitable neurons and
supporting neuroglial cells
Neurons
• Excitable cells
• Stimulus sends electrical impulse along
plasma membrane
• Transmits information to other neurons,
muscles or glands
Neuroglia
• Neuroglial cells make up more than
half of nervous tissue
• Protect and support neurons
