Figure 1.8 Which of the following statements is false?
A. Tissues exist within organs which exist within organ systems.
B. Communities exist within populations which exist within ecosystems.
C. Organelles exist within cells which exist within tissues.
D. Communities exist within ecosystems which exist in the biosphere.
Introduction:
Biological organization is a definite series of biological structures and systems that defines life. In it, each level represents the organizational complexity. Every level is termed as the object, and each object is composed of the previous level's object.
Answer to Problem 1ACQ
Correct answer:
Among the answers given, the correct answer is option (b), communities exist within population which reside in the ecosystems.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (b) is communities exist within population which resides in the ecosystem. Many populationtogether form the communities. So, communities do not form the population, but populations form the communities. Further, ecosystem is composed of many communities not of populations. Hence, this option is correct.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (a) is tissues exist within organs which exist within organ system. The living body is composed of many organs which together forms the organ system. Further, the organs are composed of various tissues. So, tissues form the organs and organs in turn forms the organ system. hence, this option is incorrect.
Option (c) is organelles exist in cells andthey form the tissues. Cell is the fundamental unit of the life. Cell contains many organelles in its cytoplasm and their function is to maintain life by processing metabolism. Many cells then form the tissues. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option (d) is communities form the ecosystem which exist in biosphere. Different communities come together to form the ecosystem. Many ecosystems combine to form the biosphere. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option (b), communities exist within population which reside in the ecosystems, is the correct answer.

PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen. How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?

- magine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different. (Editor’s note: Providing this information in your discussion will help readers to consider the significance of the research).arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between Uniporters, Symporters and Antiporters?
