Cells to Systems: Quiz on Hierarchy

What is the basic unit of life in all living organisms?

• Tissue

• Cell

• Organ

• Organ System

Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between tissues and organs?

• Tissues are made up of organs.

• Organs are made up of tissues.

• Tissues and organs are the same.

• Organs and tissues are unrelated.

Identify the correct sequence of the hierarchical organization in animals from simplest to most complex.

• Organ System, Organ, Tissue, Cell

• Cell, Tissue, Organ, Organ System

• Tissue, Cell, Organ, Organ System

• Organ, Organ System, Cell, Tissue

Explain how tissues contribute to the function of an organ in a plant.

• Tissues in a plant organ work independently without affecting the organ's function.

• Tissues in a plant organ work together to perform specific functions that contribute to the organ's overall role.

• Tissues in a plant organ are not necessary for the organ's function.

• Tissues in a plant organ only provide structural support.

How do organ systems in animals interact to maintain homeostasis?

• Organ systems function independently and do not interact.

• Organ systems interact by sharing resources and information to maintain a stable internal environment.

• Organ systems compete with each other for resources.

• Organ systems only interact during emergencies.

Compare the hierarchical organization of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems in plants and animals. How are they similar?

• Both plants and animals have cells that form tissues, which then form organs and organ systems.

• Only animals have a hierarchical organization; plants do not.

• Plants have a simpler organization than animals.

• Animals have tissues, but plants do not.

Design a simple experiment to demonstrate the function of a specific tissue in a plant organ.

• Measure the growth of a plant in different soil types.

• Observe the effect of light on the rate of photosynthesis in leaf tissues.

• Compare the color of flowers in different plants.

• Count the number of leaves on a plant.

Analyze how the failure of one organ system can affect the entire organism.

• The failure of one organ system has no effect on the organism.

• The failure of one organ system can lead to the failure of other systems, affecting the organism's overall health.

• Only the affected organ system will stop functioning, but the organism will remain healthy.

• The organism will immediately die if one organ system fails.

Evaluate the importance of the hierarchical organization of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems in the survival of an organism.

• The hierarchical organization is not important for survival.

• The hierarchical organization allows for specialization and efficient functioning, which is crucial for survival.

• The hierarchical organization only affects the growth of an organism.

• The hierarchical organization is only important during reproduction.

Predict the impact on an animal's body if its cells were unable to form tissues.

• The animal would function normally without tissues.

• The animal would be unable to form organs, leading to a failure in body functions.

• The animal would have more efficient organ systems.

• The animal would develop new types of cells to compensate.
