organism?
A) atom - molecule - organelle - cell - tissue
B) molecule - atom - organelle - tissue - cell
C) cell - organelle - atom - tissue - molecule
D) organelle - molecule - atom - tissue - cell

consuming other organisms" with cards for other
A) autotrophs.
B) plants.
C) heterotrophs.
D) producers.
E) photosynthesizers.
Answer: C
