Question

if level 2 becomes diseased, which of the following will most likely happen?

a. the organ will temporarily shut down until the disease is repaired with new cells, and the organism

b. the organ will fail to function properly, affecting the organ system and consequently the organism.

c. the cells will bypass creating tissues, instead creating the organ directly to limit the spread of the d

d. the organ system will generate more cells to create a new organ to replace the diseased componen

Explanation:

In biological organization, levels (like cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms) are interdependent. If a level (here, likely a tissue or component of an organ at Level 2) is diseased, the organ (composed of these levels) will malfunction. This affects the organ system (group of organs) and then the whole organism. Option A is incorrect as organs don’t “temporarily shut down” and repair with new cells in that way. Option C is wrong because cells form tissues first, not bypass to make organs. Option D is incorrect as organ systems don’t generate new organs to replace diseased ones.

Answer:

B. The organ will fail to function properly, affecting the organ system and consequently the organism.
