MCQs on Structural Organization in Plants and Animals

Structural organization in animals or any other life form for that matter at the fundamental level remains the same. In other words, the basic constituency of life form on earth is a cell. The cellular composition may be different, but cells form the basis of life. A cluster of cells performing a specialized, similar function is referred to as a tissue, a group of tissues performing a function is an organ and several organs carrying out a dedicated task are referred to as an organ system.
