The correct answers to this question are cell, tissue, organ, system, and organism. Cells are defined as the basic unit for all things that are living. Therefore, everything that is living is made of cells. Tissues are groups of cells. Their purpose is to work together to perform a function.

Organs are made of tissues and they are also there to carry out certain functions. An example of an organ is the lungs, which allow us to breathe. Then, there is system that is made of the various organs. Lastly, there is the organism that is made of all the aforementioned components and carry out all of the body's functions.

In order to have a complete living organism, the various parts of its body are arranged sequentially, from smaller to bigger body parts. The sequence of the levels of arrangement in organisms is this: cell, tissue, organ, system, and organism. The basic unit of life in all organisms is known as the cell.

The various chemical and biological activities in living organisms usually occur at the cellular level. Scientists believe that there are trillions of cells in the human body. While this is indeed a huge number, each cell works together with other similar cells to form tissues. This means what makes up tissues are cells that are similar in origin.

The various organs, especially in bigger animals are composed of tissues. When you have tissues performing similar functions, it usually results in the formation of an organ. These organs will also form the organ systems. The organ systems form in order to have a fully functioning organism, although some organisms are composed of a single cell.

There are five levels of organization and the correct order of them can be found below:

1. Cell; This is the basic unit for all things that are living. A living beings are made of cells

2. Tissue: This is a group of cells. The cells in the tissue all work together to carry out different jobs. In a living being, there are many different kinds of tissues.

3. Organ: This is a group of tissue. These organs carry out functions as well. Organs are very important to the body, such as the lungs, liver, and heart.

4. Organ System: This is made of different organs that also have their own functions

5. Organism: This is the living thing that carries out all of the aforementioned functions.

In total, there are five levels of the organization. There is a cell, which is the smallest unit of life. An example of a cell is a nerve cell. This can also be called a neuron. Then, there is the tissue, which is cells working together. An example of a tissue is nerve tissue. Next is the organ. This is the previous level of tissues all working together.

An example of this is the brain, which we use to think and use our sensory. Then, there is the organ system, where organs are working together. This is the nervous system. Lastly, there is an organism. Which are all the organs working together. A human is an example of an organism.

The levels of the organization can be effective for people to understand things more efficiently. The correct sequence is this: cell, tissue, organ, system, and finally, organism. All of the things that we can find on earth right now are considered as organisms when you are referring to them as a whole.

Cells usually form in order to make up the different tissues. Tissues are going to form in order to create organs that will allow living things to function properly. These organs are going to be a part of different organ systems. There are different organ systems that can be found in living things that will make up the organism.

You have to know that an organism will be made out of different levels of the organization. These levels are the following: cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems. This will also be the correct sequence of the different levels of the organization. Cells will be used in order to create tissues. Tissues will be used to make up the different organs that can be found in the body.

Finally, the different organs will be part of different organ systems in order to come up with a fully functioning organism. There are times when the cells will become abnormal and will die prematurely. This process will affect the whole level of organization and the organism as a whole.

The answer is cell, tissue, organ, system, and organism. The term cell refers to the basic unit of all living things. In other words, all living things are made up of cells, just as an atom is the simplest unit of matter. A cell contains different organelles, and they all surround the nucleus. Although these organelles are small, they all work together to carry out the functions of a cell.

The term tissue refers to a group of cells similar in origin, working together to perform a specific job. In other words, there are different tissues in the body of an organism; each of them is formed when a group of similar cells works together. An organ is also formed by a group of tissues that perform similar functions. Examples of organs are the lungs, brain, heart, liver, and kidneys.

A system is made up of different body organs having a particular function. An organism refers to any living thing that can carry out all its functions. That said, some organisms contain different organ systems, while others are made up of one cell.
