MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. What Is The Smallest Unit Of Biological Structure That Meets The Functional
Requirements Of "Living"?
A) Organ
B) Organelle
C) Cell
D) Macromolecule
ANSWER: C)
The Cell Is The Basic Unit Of Life That Carries Out All Life Processes. While
Organelles And Macromolecules Contribute To Cell Functions, They Cannot Function
Independently As Living Entities.
Points: 1
References: Section 1.1 How Do Living Things Differ From Non-Living Things?
Learning Objectives: Bca.Ses.1.1.2 - Using Suitable Examples, Describe The Successive
Levels Of Organization In Living Things From Atoms To The Biosphere.
