Chapter 1 T h e Scientific Study 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
LU
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.
Section: 01.01
Topic: Levels of Biological Organization; Characteristics of Life

2) Which is the correct sequence for levels of biological organization occurring beyond an
organism?
LI
A) population - ecosystem - community - biosphere
B) community - population - ecosystem - biosphere
C) community - population - biosphere - ecosystem
D) population - community - ecosystem - biosphere
BR
E) ecosystem - population - biosphere - community
Answer: D
Explanation: Organisms interact with one another and with nonliving things at a variety of
levels, from populations to the entire worldwide biosphere. Please see section 1.1 for more
information.

3) All living organisms
A) are prokaryotes.
B) are either unicellular or multicellular.
C) are eukaryotes.
D) are multicellular.
E) are unicellular.
Answer: B
Explanation: Living things must include at least one cell, as in bacteria, and can be multicellular,
as in the case of a human being. Please see section 1.1 for more information.

4) Organisms that extract energy from nonliving environmental resources are called
A) heterotrophs.
B) decomposers.
C) parasites.
D) consumers.
E) producers.
LI
Answer: E
Explanation: Producers are the first, and usually most populous level in an ecosystem's passing
of energy and resources from organism to organism. Please see section 1.1 for more information.
