  • Levels of Biological Organization: From Cells to Organisms
    The correct order of levels of organization in a complex organism is:

    1. Cells: The basic, fundamental unit of life.

    2. Tissues: Groups of similar cells working together to perform a specific function.

    3. Organs: Structures made up of different tissues that work together for a common purpose.

    4. Organ Systems: Groups of organs that cooperate to carry out major bodily functions.

    5. Organism: A complete living being made up of multiple organ systems.

    Example:

    * Cell: A muscle cell

    * Tissue: Muscle tissue (made of many muscle cells)

    * Organ: Heart (made of muscle tissue, connective tissue, etc.)

    * Organ System: Circulatory system (heart, blood vessels, etc.)

    * Organism: A human (composed of all the organ systems)
