2)Why do you think that your structure and your function arerelated? Support your contention based on 3 lines of evidence basedon the chemistry, physics, anatomy, or physiology involved in yourexample.

3)Which are the levels of organization involved in your example(c1)? Cite events occurring at its main level of organization (c2)and indicate how they relate to the whole body level (c3). Pleasenotice that 3 items are required (thus, answers should be labeledas “c1, c2, and c3”).
