The job a part does within an organism, whether it is a cell, tissue, organ, or organ system, is crucial for the life and health of the organism. Each part is designed to carry out certain functions, which collectively ensure the organism’s survival, growth, and reproduction.
The role a part plays within an organism, also known as its function, depends on whether the part is a cell, tissue, organ, or organ system. In a multicellular organism, all parts work together to maintain the life and health of the entire organism. For example, an organ such as the heart has the function of pumping blood to distribute nutrients and oxygen around the body.
Each part is uniquely designed to suit its function. A living organism is capable of performing all physiologic functions independently, and these functions are determined by the anatomy (structure) and physiology (functionality) of its cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.

Objectives(s):
In your own words, what is the purpose of this lab?
Hypothesis:
In this section, please include the predictions you developed during your lab activity. These statements reflect your predicted outcomes for the experiment.
Procedure:
The materials and procedures are listed in your virtual lab. You do not need to repeat them here. However, you should note if you experienced any errors or other factors that might affect your outcome. Using your summary questions at the end of your virtual lab activity, please clearly define the dependent and independent variables of the experiment.
Data:
Record the elements present in each unknown astronomical object. Be sure to indicate “yes” or “no” for each element.
Hydrogen Helium Lithium Sodium Carbon Nitrogen
Moon One
Moon Two
Planet One
Planet Two
Conclusion:
Your conclusion will include a summary of the lab results and an interpretation of the results. Please answer all questions in complete sentences using your own words.
Using two to three sentences, summarize what you investigated and observed in this lab.
Astronomers use a wide variety of technology to explore space and the electromagnetic spectrum; why do you believe it is essential to use many types of equipment when studying space?
If carbon was the most common element found in the moons and planets, what element is missing that would make them similar to Earth? Explain why. (Hint: Think about the carbon cycle.)
We know that the electromagnetic spectrum uses wavelengths and frequencies to determine a lot about outer space. How does it help us find out the make-up of stars?
Why might it be useful to determine the elements that a planet or moon is made up of?
