Disease affects an organism by disrupting the organism's homeostasis. Homeostasis is the process by which an organism maintains a steady internal environment (stable body temperature, blood sugar level, electrolyte balance, etc.). A disease will disrupt this process.
For example, Helicobacter pylori (the bacteria responsible for most stomach ulcers in humans) disrupts homeostasis by interfering with the production of the mucus layer that protects the stomach lining cells from the hydrochloric acid in the stomach lumen.

How do you relate the levels of organ systems to each other and to the whole system or organism?
Every organ system is separate but interrelated to the whole.The organism can survive if there is injury or disease in an organ system, in most cases, but every injury or disease also affects all the other organ systems and the organism as a whole. So if you have a pancreatic disease like Diabetes in the digestive system, eventually it will affect the heart in the circulatory system. If a person has full-thickness burn injuries (skin), it will immediately affect other systems, especially circulatory (immediately). If you have an injury resulting in paralysis below chest level, it will affect the Digestive system, urinary system, reproductive system, and can even affect skin throughout the body.The organism cannot survive, however, if one complete organ system cannot function. If the heart is injured the body can die. If the liver is too diseased, the body will die. If the lungs cannot function, the body will die. And of course, when something major attacks or damages the brain, all organ systems will fail.

How does a decrease in the amount of each trophic level affect the organization of an ecosystem?
Because there is less energy available at each feeding level, there is a limit to how many organisms can be a part of each progressive level.

Tissues of different kinds come together to make an?
Tissues of different kinds come together to make an organ. In biological organization, the hierarchy of life is, from the lowest level to the highest level: the atom, molecule, bimolecular complex, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, and finally the organism. Each level is comprised of a combination of all the previous levels.
Is each organ a organ system?
No. The collection of organs is organ system.
