Question

Multicellular organisms consist of many different systerns working together. These systems are made of different smaller components. Which of the following models illustrates theappropriate hierarchical organization found in multicellular organisms?A.System - Organ - DNA - Cell - ProteinB.DNA - Cell - Tissue - Organ - SystemC.Cardiac - Circulatory - Digestive - NervousD.Protein - Cell - Nervous - Reaction - Response

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. DNA - Cell - Tissue - Organ - System. The hierarchical organization goes from the smaller component (DNA) to the highest (System). Each component is nested in the next element, for example DNA is contained in cells, and cells are contained in tissues, and so on.
