  28. What is a tissue in the hierarchy from cells to organisms?
    A group of similar cells working together for a function. Similar cells coordinate their activities for efficiency.
  29. Which level is more complex: tissue or organ?
    Organ. Organs contain multiple coordinated tissue types.
  30. Identify the level: a femur, made of bone tissue, marrow, nerves, and blood vessels.
    Organ. Multiple tissue types integrated in bone structure.
  31. Identify the level: a single red blood cell.
    Cell. An individual unit at the cellular level.
  32. Find the incorrect order and correct it: cell → organ → tissue → organ system → organism.
    Cell → tissue → organ → organ system → organism. Tissue comes after cell, not after organ.
  33. Identify the level: skeletal muscle tissue composed of many muscle fibers.
    Tissue. Many muscle fibers coordinated for movement.
  34. Which level is correctly described as "multiple tissues integrated into one structure"?
    Organ. This describes the integration of tissues.
  35. Identify the level: a human being made of many interacting organ systems.
    Organism. The complete individual at the highest level.
