Exercise 3
Step 1

Many specialized cells work together to form a tissue and many specialized tissues work together to form an organ and many organs work in association with each other to form an organ system. The organ system is therefore more sophisticated and complex than specialized cells because it is playing a specific role in system in coordination with other organs.

For example all animals like human beings respire, eat, defecate, excrete, move etc.
