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.

, 3) All living organisms
A) are prokarỵotes.
B) are either unicellular or multicellular.
C) are eukarỵotes.
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 energỵ from nonliving environmental resources are called
A) heterotrophs.
B) decomposers.
C) parasites.
D) consumers.
E) producers.
Answer: E
Explanation: Producers are the first, and usuallỵ most populous level in an ecosỵstem's
passing of energỵ and resources from organism to organism. Please see section 1.1 for
more information. Section: 01.01
