Organize the following from largest to smallest:
- Organisms
- Organ systems
- Organs
- Tissue
- Cell
- Nuclei
- Chromosomes
- DNA
- Genes
Answer (3)
Organisms, organ systems, organs, tissue, cell, nuclei, chromosome, DNA, genes
The question asks to organize various biological structures from largest to smallest. These structures range from the macroscopic level, such as organisms, down to the molecular level, such as DNA. The correct order, starting from the largest, is: organism, organ systems, organs, tissue, cells, nuclei, chromosomes, genes, and finally, DNA.
Organisms are complete living entities that can reproduce, grow, and maintain homeostasis. Organ systems are groups of organs that work together to perform a specific function. Organs are structures made up of two or more types of tissues that work together to perform a specific activity. Tissues are groups of similar cells that have a common function. Cells are the basic unit of life. Inside cells, the nuclei contain the cell's genetic material. Chromosomes are long DNA molecules that contain genetic information. Genes are segments of DNA that code for proteins. Finally, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses.
The biological organization from largest to smallest includes organisms, organ systems, organs, tissues, cells, nuclei, chromosomes, DNA, and genes. Each level represents a different complexity, with organisms being whole living entities and genes as the basic units of heredity. Understanding these levels helps in grasping how life is organized and functions.
