Which of the following represents the correct order of organization of an animal’s body?
- a. Cells; organs; organ systems; tissues
- b. Cells; tissues; organ systems; organs
- c. Tissues; cells; organs; organ systems
- d. Cells; tissues: organs; organ systems
Introduction:
The biologists describe the animal body in terms of an organizational hierarchy. A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life. Most animals comprised of tissues. Tissues are the groups of specialized cells that interact and provide a specific function. The two or more interacting tissues form an organ that function as a unit and if two or more organs are physically or functionally joined then it leads to the formation of organ system.
Answer to Problem 1MCQ
Correct answer:
The correct order of organization of an animal’s body is cells; tissues; organs; organs system. Therefore, option (d) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
In the organization of human body, the group of cells forms tissues, two or more tissues form organ, and grouping of organs ultimately form the organ system.
Option (d) is given as “cells; tissues; organs; organ systems”
As “the correct order of an animal’s body organization is cells; tissues; organs; organ systems” is the right answer.
Hence, option (d) is correct.
Reason for the incorrect statements:
Option (a), is given as “cells; organs; organ systems; tissues”.
It is not the correct order of organization of an animal’s body as the group of cells form tissues not the organs. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (b), is given as “cells; tissues; organs systems; organs”.
It is also not the correct order of organization of an animal’s body as the group of two or more tissues forms an organ not the organ system. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (c), is given as “tissues; cells; organs; organ systems”.
It is not the order of animal body organizational hierarchy as the group of cells form tissue not the tissues from cells. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a), (b), and (c) are incorrect.
Therefore, the correct order of organization of an animal’s body is cells; tissues; organs; organ systems.

- Which two organ systems maintain homeostasis by dictating other organ systems? Choose two. a. immune system b. digestive system c. nervous system d. circulatory system e. integumentary system f. endocrine system g. respiratory system h. reproductive system i. skeletal systemarrow_forwardWhich of the following is the most complex structural level of organization? a. chemical level b. organ level c. cellular level d. tissue levelarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements best describes homeostasis? a. Keeping the body in a fixed and unaltered state b. Dynamic equilibrium c. Maintaining a near-constant internal environment d. Altering the external environment to accommodate the body's needsarrow_forward
- Write a long response that thoroughly explores examples of structure and function working together at the following levels in the interest of maintaining homeostasis: A – Organ B – Organ System C – Organism Be specific at each level of organization while keeping the greater good of the whole body in mind. If there was significant dysfunction at the organ level, predict how the effects of that flaw might ripple though higher levels of organization mentioned above? How might this affect the overall health of the person?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a correct sequence of levels of biological organization? 1. organ system 2. chemical 3. tissue 4. organ 5. cell (a) 2, 3, 5, 4, 1 (b) 5, 3, 4, 1, 2 (c) 2, 5, 3, 1, 4 (d) 2, 5, 3, 4, 1 (e) 5, 2, 3, 4, 1arrow_forwardNot all animals have organ systems or even organs. What are the advantages to having specific tissues, organs, and organ systems?arrow_forward
- Homeostasis a. is a dynamic process. b. describes the maintenance of the internal environment of the body. c. is essential to life. d. All of the choices are correct.arrow_forwardSketch the outline of a human body, and use lines to indicate an example of each of the following sections:a. Sagittal b. Transverse c. Frontalarrow_forwardwhich of the following statements are true about homeostasis? Select all that apply. a. The selective permeability of the cell membrane allows for thermoregulation. b. Homeostasis is an organism‘s way of maintaining constant and balanced internal processes. c. Ectotherms rely on environmental heat to maintain homeostasis. d. Homeostasis works by a system of positive feedback.arrow_forward
- Mark the following statements as true or false. If a statement is false, correct it to make a true statement. a. Structure and function are closely related at the organ level only. b. Homeostasis is the condition of having a dynamic equilibrium of the internal environment. c. Positive feedback loops are triggered by a deviation from a homeostatic set point and are shut down when conditions return to the set point. d. The effects of negative feedback loops are amplified to create an escalating response. e. Cell-cell communication is required to coordinate the activities of the whole bodyarrow_forwardWhat is the organizational complexity and role of animal organ systems?arrow_forwardDiscuss the organization of animal bodies from the cellular to the organsystem level. Given that organ systems interact extensively with eachother, should each system really be considered distinct, or is it possibleto think of an animal’s body as being composed of one large, integrated“system”?arrow_forward
