Which option shows the correct order of organization within multicellular organisms (from least complex to most complex)?
Responses
cell → tissue → organ → organ system → organism
cell → tissue → organ → organ system → organism
tissue → organ system → organ → organism → cell
tissue → organ system → organ → organism → cell
organ → organ system → cell → organism → tissue
organ → organ system → cell → organism → tissue
cell → organ → organ system → tissue → organism
The correct option is: cell → tissue → organ → organ system → organism.
The correct option is: cell → tissue → organ → organ system → organism
The correct order of organization within multicellular organisms (from least complex to most complex) is: cell → tissue → organ → organ system → organism.
To understand why this order is correct, let's break it down:
1. Cells: Cells are the smallest unit of structure and function in a living organism. They are the building blocks of all living organisms.
2. Tissues: Cells with similar structure and function come together to form tissues. Tissues are groups of cells that work together to perform specific functions. There are four main types of tissues in animals: epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissues.
3. Organs: Different types of tissues combine to form organs. Organs are structures that have specific functions and are composed of two or more tissues. Examples of organs include the heart, lungs, liver, and kidney.
4. Organ Systems: Organs with related functions come together to form organ systems. Organ systems are groups of organs that work together to perform specific functions necessary for the survival of the organism. Examples of organ systems include the circulatory system, respiratory system, digestive system, and nervous system.
5. Organism: Finally, all the organ systems work together to form a complete multicellular organism. An organism is a living being made up of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.
Therefore, the correct order is: cell → tissue → organ → organ system → organism
