Answer 1

The largest component of life among the options provided is Cell.

To clarify the hierarchy:

• Atoms are the basic units of matter and the smallest components.
• Molecules are made up of two or more atoms.
• Organelles are structures within cells that perform specific functions.
• Cells are the basic units of life that can function independently and can contain multiple organelles.

So, in order from smallest to largest, it is: Atom < Molecule < Organelle < Cell.
