Answer:

Cells, tissues, organ, organ systems, organism

Explanation:

All living organisms including Lisa as used in this question is made up of fundamental and basic unit called CELLS.

In multicellular organisms (more than one cell), these cells undergo multiplication by dividing repeatedly and the ones that perform similar functions forms the TISSUE. For example, in humans like Lisa, we have the blood tissue formed by blood cells performing similar functions e.g erythrocytes, leukocytes etc.

The tissues that work together to perform a certain function groups together to form an ORGAN. An organ performs a specific function in the body. Examples of organs in a living organism like Lisa is heart, Kidney, liver etc. These organs, whose, functions are in synchrony collectively forms the ORGAN SYSTEM, which helps maintain the internal environment of an organism. Organ systems include; circulatory system, digestive system etc. Each organ system is made up of certain organs.

The collaboration of many organ systems working together ultimately forms the full ORGANISM like Lisa who is a human.
