Humans, like other living organisms, are made of various structures arranged in hierarchical levels. The orders build on one another to create increasingly more complex organisms. Which statement best describes the hierarchical level of epidermis (skin) tissue? The epidermis is made from atoms and is part of plant cells. The epidermis is made from cells and is part of an organ. The epidermis is made from organs and is part of organ systems. The epidermis is made from molecules and is part of an organism.

Question

Humans, like other living organisms, are made of various structures arranged in hierarchical levels. The orders build on one another to create increasingly more complex organisms. Which statement best describes the hierarchical level of epidermis (skin) tissue? The epidermis is made from atoms and is part of plant cells. The epidermis is made from cells and is part of an organ. The epidermis is made from organs and is part of organ systems. The epidermis is made from molecules and is part of an organism.

Answer 1

'The epidermis is made from cells and is part of an organ.'

Answer 2

## Step 1The hierarchical levels of an organism start from the smallest unit, which is the atom or subatomic particles. These atoms combine to form molecules. ## Step 2Molecules combine to form cells, which are the smallest unit of life. ## Step 3Cells combine to form tissues. ## Step 4Tissues combine to form organs. ## Step 5Organs combine to form organ systems. ## Step 6Organ systems combine to form an organism. ## Step 7When considering tissues like the epidermis (a type of plant or animal tissue), it is important to recognize that they are composed of cells, which result in forming a portion of an organ, not atoms, molecules or organ systems as presented in the other response options.
