The condition hypothyroidism is characterized by a decrease in the synthesis and secretion of the chemical thyroid hormone from the thyroid gland, an organ in the neck that is part of the endocrine system. Which level of organization does not match this condition? A) At the tissue level groups of follicular cells that make the thyroid hormones form a spherical structure with a hollow interior called a follicle. B) The plasma membrane of follicular cells that are found in the thyroid gland is made up of phospholipid bilayer at the tissue level. C) The thyroid gland is regulated by other hormones from other glands in the body at an organ system level. D) The endocrine system works with the cardiovascular system to allow transporting the hormones throughout the body functions at the organism level.
