To answer this question, we need to understand the function of an organ system. An organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform specific functions in the body. Each organ within a system has a specialized function, and when they collaborate, they can carry out more complex tasks than individually.
To get the answer to this question, we can eliminate options that don't accurately describe the function of an organ system.
1. "To be a basic unit of organization with bodies" is not the correct answer because organ systems are not the basic unit of organization. Cells are the basic unit of organization in the body.
2. "To control movement in internal organs" is incorrect because the function of an organ system is not solely to control movement within organs. Some systems may have a role in movement, but that is not the primary function.
4. "To organize a group of similar cells" is also incorrect because organ systems are not responsible for organizing cells. Cells are organized into tissues and then further organized into organs.
Therefore, the correct answer is: "to work together to do a specific job." Organ systems collaborate to perform specific functions that are essential for the overall functioning of the body.
