Which of the following is the minimum level of structure needed to preform the function of waste removal?

A. Body System
B. Tissue
C. Cell
D. Organ

I chose A for my answer, is it correct? Thanks. :)

If it is waste removal from the body, I agree.

Actually, I think it is C. Cells can perform waste removal on their own, can't they?

Ok I just took the assessment, Both A and C are right, so pick either one.

Answers:
A and/or C
B
C
A

Someone Helpful is correct. I got 4/4 100%

To determine the minimum level of structure needed to perform the function of waste removal, we need to consider the different levels of organization in the human body.

Starting from the smallest unit, the cell is the basic structural and functional unit of living organisms. Cells perform a variety of functions, but individual cells alone may not be capable of waste removal.

Tissues are groups of cells that work together to perform a particular function. While some types of tissues may contribute to waste removal, such as certain epithelial tissues, a single tissue is also insufficient for waste removal.

An organ is a structure made up of different tissues that work together to perform a specific function. Organs, such as the kidneys, liver, and lungs, play a crucial role in waste removal.

Lastly, body systems are groups of organs that function together to perform specific tasks. Several body systems, including the respiratory system, urinary system, and digestive system, contribute to waste removal.

Considering the options provided, the minimum level of structure needed to perform the function of waste removal is the organ (option D). Therefore, your answer A is incorrect.

The correct answer is D. Organ.
