Organization of life: WAEC Biology Past Questions and Answers
What the WAEC syllabus covers in Organization of life
Our summary: The levels at which life is organised, from single cells to organ systems, and what complexity costs and gains.
- Levels of organization: (i) cell (single-celled organisms): Amoeba, Euglena, Paramecium; (ii) tissue: Hydra; (iii) organ (storage organ): bulb, rhizome and heart; (iv) system/organ system: in mammals, flowering plants - reproductive system, excretory system etc. (The examples should be used to illustrate differentiation and specialization in organisms.)
- Complexity of organization in higher organisms: advantages and disadvantages (The significance of different levels of organization including volume/surface area ratio should be mentioned.)
