- Cancer starts from cells that start to grow uncontrollably fast. They destroy tissues and organs. What does this say about the effects of diseased cells on the higher levels of organization in an organism? a. Cancer involves only certain kinds of cells and does not affect any other kind of cell. b. Diseased cells affect only the next higher levels of organization that they make up (tissues). c. Diseased cells damage the higher levels of organization they make up tissues, organs, organ systems, and eventually the whole organism. d. Diseased cells do not affect the other parts of an organism. e.
