At which level of organization do different tissues work together to perform a specific function?

• Cell

• Organ

• Molecule

• Organism

Which level of organization comes directly before the "organ system" level?

• Tissue

• Organ

• Cell

• Molecule

Explain why the cell is considered a fundamental unit in the levels of biological organization.

• Because it is the smallest unit that can carry out all life processes.

• Because it is made up of organs.

• Because it is larger than an organism.

• Because it is the only non-living level.
