which of the following statements accurately describes how organisms are organized into smaller units?
○ organisms are made up of cells to atoms to tissues to organs to organ systems.
○ organisms are made up of tissues to cells to atoms to organs to organ systems.
○ organisms are made up of atoms to cells to tissues to organs to organ systems.
○ organisms are made up of organs to organ systems to cells to atoms.

Explanation:

The question asks for the correct hierarchical breakdown of organisms into smaller units. From largest to smallest, the biological organization is organ systems → organs → tissues → cells → atoms. Reversing this (organism to smaller units) follows organ systems, organs, tissues, cells, atoms, which matches one option.

Answer:

Organisms are made up of organ systems to organs to tissues to cells to atoms.
