function of each.
– Discuss the relation of cells to the organism as a
whole
CELL SPECIALISATION AND ORGANISATION IN ORGANISMS
– Different tissues are then grouped together to form specialised organs which may perform one or
more functions
– e.g. the skin is composed of epithelial, connective and nerve tissues
– the leaves of plants are composed of epidermal, photosynthetic and vascular tissues.
– Organs work together in organ systems
– e.g. the digestive, nervous and blood vascular systems in animals
– the transpiration and translocation systems in plants.
– Systems then work together in an organised way to form a multicellular organism.
