Question 616 • Career Explorations A

Which of the following lists the levels of organizational hierarchy from most complex to least complex?

Answer
A
population, organism, ecosystem
B
biosphere, community, organism
C
biome, population, biosphere
D
population, ecosystem, community

Explanation

Biological organization generally proceeds from smaller levels to larger ones: organism, population, community, ecosystem, biome, and biosphere. From most complex to least complex, the order reverses, so the biosphere comes before a community, which comes before an organism. Therefore, “biosphere, community, organism” is correct.
