...TMA 1 1.1 Describe the four basic human body structure units and their functions. The four basic human structure units are : * Cells * Tissues * Organs * Systems Cells : These are the basic structural unit of the body that maintain life. Every person consists of billions of cells that perform a infinite number of tasks in order to maintain the continuation of life. These live independently and can reproduce themselves. A cell also comes in different shapes and sizes depending on their function within the stability of life, for example, a mature red blood cell is less than 1mm in diameter and their function is to transport oxygen around the body. Tissues : Tissue is a collection of cells, not identical but a similar function, specialised to perform a specific function. Tissue comes in many different forms including blood, muscle, glands and bone(such as cartilage). These can also form nerve tissue to which are cells that specially conduct electrochemical nerve impulses throughout the body. Organs : All organs are formed when tissue combines with other forms of cells. This then gives you a structural unit, for example, a heart, that perform a specific function. Other examples of organs include the eye, liver, stomach, testis, uterus and kidneys all with their own particular function in sustaining life. Systems : System are cells, tissues and organs all working together to get a final outcome. For example, your digestive system needs a mouth,...

...– – Question 1 a) In table 1 the box marked A. represents the number of employees over 45 that used a car to travel to work. The table shows that the total number of employees that uses a car to travel to work is 36. The table also shows that 11 of these employees are under the age of 45. Therefore to calculate box A = Total employees – Number of under 45 that use a car Shaded Box marked A = 36 – 11 =25 The number that box A. represents is 25, showing there are 25 employees over the age of 45 that use a car as there mode of transport to work. b) From Table 1, the number of employees that used a bus to travel to work is 18 out of 90 employees. So the percentage that travelled by bus So 20% percent of employees came to work by bus. c) The number of employees that used a carbon neutral mode of transport was Employee s that used carbon natural methods The statement that only one-third of these employees are under the age of 45 is true. Out of these 36 employees that used carbon neutral mode of transport the table shows that 12 employees were under the age of 45. Employees under the age of 45 walked or cycled. 1 4 12 3 So this verifies that only one third of employee that used carbon neutral mode of transport were under the age of 45 years old.

The four basic human structures are cells, tissues, organs, and systems. The cell is the smallest building block of the body, and is the basic structural and functional unit of all known living organisms. They live independently and can reproduce itself. A group of cells form Tissues. They come in all different sizes such as elongated, square, oval and even star shaped. The cell is made up of protoplasm (jelly like substance), it is 70% water plus organic and inorganic salts, carbohydrates, lipids (fatty substance), nitrogenous substances, (these are amino acids obtained from protein), and compounds of all the above. Blood for example is a liquid tissue made up of several different types of cells. Cells allow us to breathe, digest, excrete, reproduce, sense, grow, move, die. When a cell goes wrong this can be the origin of disease and illness. Tissues, is a group or cells joined together, there is four different types of tissue, epithelial, connective, nervous and muscular. Epithelial There is two categories of epithelial tissue, simple and compound, simple is often found as a covering or lining...

Executive Summary This case study provides an analysis and evaluation of Facebook’s current strategy in the e-business of social networking. Facebook’s competitors are identified. Investigations are carried out to determine if Facebook’s strategy is effective in staying ahead of its competitors. It was found out that Facebook faced a few major problems. Intellectual property disputes with Harvard based houseSYSTEM’s creator, Aaron J. Greenspan and ConnectU had affected Facebook’s public image in 2004. Privacy issues problems forced Facebook to repetitively apologize to its users and made many amendments to its products. In late 2007, Facebook encountered over capacity in its data centers resulting in a drop in its user visiting Facebook website. With the existence of its competitors, MySpace and Twitter, Facebook found it challenging to expand its operation. It was recommended that Facebook should remain friends with its competitors and engaged in a collaborative alliance in developing technologies for the social network platform. Ensuring adequate privacy user controls is the key to customer satisfaction; therefore regaining trust back from Facebook’s user is crucial in its...
