2. Identify the levels of organization from largest

to smallest.

Organism, organ system, organ, tissue, cell

*1. What is more complex, a lung or the respiratory

system? Why?

Respiratory system because it is composed of many

organs working together. A lung is one individual

organ.

What organs does the respiratory system contain?

*1. Is a one celled bacterium considered an

organism? Why or why not?

Yes, because they undergo all the characteristics of

life. A single cell is the most basic and smallest

thing we consider to be living.
