Solution

failed
failed

The answer is the fourth one: molecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem.

Explanation for each option:

  1. ecosystem, population, organ system, cell, community, molecule, organ, organism, organelle, tissue:

    • This sequence is incorrect because it does not follow the correct hierarchical order. For example, an ecosystem is more inclusive than a population, and a molecule is less inclusive than a cell.
  2. molecule, cell, organism, organ system, tissue, population, organ, organelle, community, ecosystem:

    • This sequence is incorrect because it does not follow the correct hierarchical order. For example, an organ system should come after organs, and tissues should come before organs.
  3. cell, molecule, organ system, organ, organelle, population, tissue, organism, ecosystem, community:

    • This sequence is incorrect because it does not follow the correct hierarchical order. For example, a molecule should come before a cell, and a community should come before an ecosystem.
  4. molecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem:

    • This sequence is correct. It follows the hierarchical order from the least inclusive (molecule) to the most inclusive (ecosystem).

Summary: The correct sequence that lists the hierarchy from least inclusive to most inclusive is: molecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem.
