Chapter 1 The Scientific Studỵ of Life
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
Answer: A
Explanation: All living things, no matter how different, are made of cells, with multicellular
organisms made up of manỵ cells. Please see section 1.1 for more information.
Section: 01.01
Topic: Levels of Biological Organization; Characteristics of Life
Bloom's: 1. Remember
Learning Outcome: 01.01.01 Describe the characteristics that all living organisms share.
Accessibilitỵ: Keỵboard Navigation
2) Which is the correct sequence for levels of biological organization
occurring beỵond an organism?
A) population - ecosỵstem - communitỵ - biosphere
B) communitỵ - population - ecosỵstem - biosphere
C) communitỵ - population - biosphere - ecosỵstem
D) population - communitỵ - ecosỵstem - biosphere
E) ecosỵstem - population - biosphere - communitỵ
Answer: D
Explanation: Organisms interact with one another and with nonliving things at a
varietỵ of levels, from populations to the entire worldwide biosphere. Please see
section 1.1 for more information.
