Question

1. the table below provides some information concerning organelles and organs.

based on this information, which statement accurately compares organelles to organs?
a) organelles carry out functions similar to those of organs.
b) organelles function in multicellular organisms while organs function in single - celled organisms.
c) organs maintain homeostasis while organelles do not.
d) functions are carried out more efficiently by organs than by organelles.

Explanation:

The table shows that organelles (like cell membrane for gas exchange, food vacuole for nutrition) and organs (like lung for gas exchange, stomach for nutrition) have similar functions. Organelles function in single - celled organisms and cells (which can be part of multicellular organisms), while organs function in multicellular organisms. Both organelles and organs can be involved in maintaining homeostasis. There is no indication in the table that organs carry out functions more efficiently than organelles.

Answer:

A. Organelles carry out functions similar to those of organs.
