Question

which of the following pairings correctly identifies a level of biological organization and provides an accurate description of how it contributes to the next recognized level in the hierarchy? select all that apply organelle contributes to a cell: an organelle is a small, specialized structure that performs vital functions within a cell, enabling the cells overall operation. tissue contributes to an organ: a tissue is a group of similar cells working together; multiple different tissues then integrate to form a functional organ.

Explanation:

• For the "Organelle contributes to a Cell" pairing: Organelles are indeed small, specialized structures within a cell that perform specific functions. For example, mitochondria produce energy (ATP) for the cell. Their collective functions are essential for the cell to carry out its life - sustaining processes.
• For the "Tissue contributes to an Organ" pairing: A tissue is defined as a group of similar cells with a common function. Different tissues (e.g., muscle tissue, connective tissue in an organ like the heart) work together. The muscle tissue contracts, and the connective tissue provides structural support, enabling the organ (the heart) to pump blood.

Answer:

1. Organelle contributes to a Cell: An organelle is a small, specialized structure that performs vital functions within a cell, enabling the cell's overall operation.
2. Tissue contributes to an Organ: A tissue is a group of similar cells working together; multiple different tissues then integrate to form a functional organ.
