Biological Organization Of Living Things Quiz

1. Which list sequences the levels of organization of living systems from least to most complex?

Organisms --> organ systems --> organs --> tissues --> cells

Cells --> tissues --> organisms --> populations --> organs --> organ systems

Cells --> tissues --> organs --> organ systems --> organisms --> populations

Tissues --> cells --> organs --> organ systems --> organisms --> populations

Least complex to most complex is like smallest to largest and REMEMBER, a population is a group of THE SAME ORGANISMS.

Explanation

Least complex to most complex is like smallest to largest and REMEMBER, a population is a group of THE SAME ORGANISMS.

2. Which of the following is the least complex level of organization in living things?

An organ system

A cell

An organism

An organ

A single cell is the smallest living part of ANY living thing.

Explanation

A single cell is the smallest living part of ANY living thing.

3. Like your brain, your skin is...

An organism

Your skin is an organ because it is one part of your body (made of the same kind of tissue - skin tissue) with a specific function.

Explanation

Your skin is an organ because it is one part of your body (made of the same kind of tissue - skin tissue) with a specific function.

7. Provided is a Level of Organization diagram. Which of the following terms would be the appropriate term for the level labeled Y?

Cells

Organism

Organ Systems

Organs

Level Z is a list of organs. Organs with related functions work together in organ systems.

Explanation

Level Z is a list of organs. Organs with related functions work together in organ systems.

8. Which best describes the relationship between tissues and organs?

All organs are made from one type of tissue.

Tissues are made from one type of organ.

Tissues are made from different types of organs

Different organs are made from different types of tissues

Different organs are made from different types of tissues. This is because organs are composed of multiple types of tissues that work together to perform specific functions. Each tissue type has its own unique structure and function, and when combined, they form the complex structures and systems of organs in the body.

Explanation

Different organs are made from different types of tissues. This is because organs are composed of multiple types of tissues that work together to perform specific functions. Each tissue type has its own unique structure and function, and when combined, they form the complex structures and systems of organs in the body.

Even if you never heard of Sieve-tube cells or Companion cells, REMEMBER groups of cells with similar functions make up tissue.

Explanation

Even if you never heard of Sieve-tube cells or Companion cells, REMEMBER groups of cells with similar functions make up tissue.
