1 The food that you eat travels from your mouth, down your esophagus, into your stomach, and
through your small and large intestines before your body rids itself of solid waste. As the food
passes through your body, it is digested, and you get important nutrients from the food. Which of
the following is the correct term used to describe a group of body parts working together to
perform a specific function?
A an organism
B a tissue
C an organ system
D an organ
2 Living things are made up of cells. Cells are organized at different levels to form very complex living
organisms like your body. Each level has a specific role or job to perform. Which of the following
lists these levels in the correct order of organization from the simplest to the most complex?
A cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms
B organisms, organ systems, organs, tissues, cells
C tissues, cells, organs, organisms, organ systems
D organs, organ systems, organisms, cells, tissues
3 All of the following are true EXCEPT:
A Skin is an organ.
B Tissues are made up of organs.
C Each organ is made up of its own kind of tissue.
D Tissues are made up of cell.
