Which option shows the correct order of organization within multicellular organisms (from least complex to most complex)?
Responses
tissue → organ system → organ → organism → cell
tissue → organ system → organ → organism → cell - no response given
cell → tissue → organ → organ system → organism
cell → tissue → organ → organ system → organism - not selected, this is the correct answer
cell → organ → organ system → tissue → organism
cell → organ → organ system → tissue → organism - no response given
organ → organ system → cell → organism → tissue
organ → organ system → cell → organism → tissue
The correct option is:
cell → tissue → organ → organ system → organism
The correct answer is:
cell → tissue → organ → organ system → organism
To understand the correct order of organization within multicellular organisms, we need to break down the levels of organization and their relationships.
1. Cells: Cells are the basic unit of life and the building blocks of all living organisms.
2. Tissues: A group of cells that work together to perform a specific function forms a tissue. Examples of tissues include muscle tissue, nerve tissue, and connective tissue.
3. Organs: Organs are composed of different types of tissues that work together to carry out particular functions. For example, the heart is an organ composed of muscle tissue, nerve tissue, and connective tissue.
4. Organ systems: Organ systems are groups of organs that work together to perform specific functions for the overall organism. Examples of organ systems include the respiratory system, circulatory system, and skeletal system.
5. Organisms: An organism is a living being that carries out all the functions necessary for life. It is made up of multiple organ systems working together.
Therefore, the correct order of organization within multicellular organisms, from least complex to most complex, is:
cell → tissue → organ → organ system → organism
