Q

QuestionAnatomy and Physiology

The question is asking for the term that describes a group of cells that work together to perform a function. This is a concept from biology, specifically histology, which deals with the study of tissues.

Based on the definition provided, we are looking for a term that represents a group of cells that perform a specific function. The options given are: A. organism B. organ C. molecule D. tissue

A. An organism is a living being that can function independently, consisting of one cell (like bacteria) or many cells (like animals and plants). This is not the correct answer. B. An organ is a structure composed of several tissues that work together to perform specific functions. This seems closer to the concept we are looking for but uses the term we are trying to define. C. A molecule is the smallest unit of a substance that retains its chemical properties. This is not the correct answer as it refers to a chemical concept, not a biological structure. D. Tissue is a group of cells that perform a specific function. This is the correct answer.
