Question 21

The Hierarchy of Structural Organization

Answer 21

The Hierarchy of Structural Organization
* Chemical level- Atoms form molecules
* Cellular level- Cells and their functional subunits
* Tissue level- A group of cells performing a common function
* Organ level- A discrete structure made up of more than one tissue
* Organ system level- Organs working together for a common purpose
* Organismal level- The result of all simpler levels working in unison
