BIOLOGY
1) Which is the correct sequence for levels of biological organization within a multicellular
organism?
A) atom - molecule - organelle - cell - tissue
B) molecule - atom - organelle - tissue - cell
C) cell - organelle - atom - tissue - molecule
D) organelle - molecule - atom - tissue - cell
E) atom - organelle - molecule - cell - tissue
The Essentials Answer: A
Explanation: All living things, no matter how different, are made of cells, with multicellular
organisms made up of many cells. Please see section 1.1 for more information.
