The most complex level among the options you provided is the organ system. Here's a brief breakdown of each level of biological organization:
-
Cells: The basic unit of life; cells can vary in complexity but are generally considered the simplest structural unit in this hierarchy.
-
Tissues: Groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function. Tissues are more complex than individual cells.
-
Organs: Structures made up of two or more types of tissues working together to perform specific functions. Organs are more complex than tissues.
-
Organ Systems: Groups of organs that work together to perform complex functions within an organism (e.g., the digestive system, nervous system). They represent the highest level of complexity in this hierarchy.
Therefore, the organ system is the most complex among them.
