Levels of Organization

1. Atoms are the smallest unit of matter that cannot be broken down further by chemical means. Cells are the smallest unit of life where energy is produced and are composed of organelles. Organs are groups of tissues working together to form organ systems that work cooperatively to perform specialized functions like circulation, digestion, and respiration. 2. Organisms are the most complex level of organization, formed through the coordination of organ systems and able to function independently. Populations are groups of the same species that live together, while communities comprise groups of different populations living in the same area. Ecosystems include all the organisms and environment in a particular place. 3. Biomes are groups of ecosystems with similar climate and

1. ATOMS
- smallest unit of matter that cannot be broken down into anything simpler by chemical means.

2. MOLECULES
- the smallest units of most compounds formed by the chemical bonding of atoms.

3. ORGANELLES
- specialized structures that perform important cellular functions within cells.

4. CELL
- smallest unit of life where energy is produced.
- composed of different organelles.

2 Types of Cells
1. Prokaryotic Cells
- have no nucleus
- ex. Bacteria and other microscopic organisms
2. Eukaryotic Cells
- have nucleus
-ex. Multicellular organisms
5. TISSUES
- groups of cells.

4 basic types of tissues


1. Epithelial tissues
2. Connective tissues
3. Nervous tissues
4. Muscle tissues

1). Epithelial Tissues


- for protection, secretion, absorption, and filtration

skin tissues - protect the body from the external environment


tissues in the glands – secrete chemical substances
tissues in the stomach – absorption of nutrients
tissues in the kidneys – important in filtration and excretion
2). Connective Tissues
- connects, supports, binds, or separates other tissues or organs
Types:
a. Loose Connective Tissues
ex. Adipose tissue
b. Dense Connective Tissues
ex. Dense regular connective tissue
c. Special Connective Tissues
ex. Blood
3.) Nervous tissues
- composed of neurons which transmit electrical impulses.
- brain, spinal cord, and nerves
4.) Muscle Tissues
- responsible for body movement.
- move different substances (blood, flood, and waste) through the organs of the body.
- aid in mechanical digestion.

6. ORGANS
- group of different tissues working together.
ex. heart, kidney, brain

7. ORGAN SYSTEM
- group of organs cooperating to perform specialized functions.

1. Circulatory – transport oxygen, waste, and digested food throughout the body.
2. Digestive – receives, transports and absorbs nutrient from food.
3. Endocrine – regulates the functions of the body; produces vitamins and hormones.
4. Excretory -removes liquid and solid waste from the body; regulates the functions of the body
5. Integumentary - protects the internal body structure, prevents dehydration; stores fat
6. Muscular – supports the body and enables movement.
7. Nervous –transmits messages throughout the body.
8. Reproductive –produces male and female sex cells.
9. Respiratory – allows the exchange of gases in the body.
10. Skeletal – supports, protects, and gives the body shape and form.

8. ORGANISM
- formed through the coordination of organ systems.
- a living thing that has the ability to function independently.
- most complex level of organization.

9. POPULATION
- groups of individuals of the same species that live in the same area.

10. COMMUNITY
- groups of different populations that live together in a defined area.

11. ECOSYSTEM
- groups of all the organisms that live in a particular place, together with their nonliving environment.

12. BIOME
groups of ecosystems that have the same climate and similar dominant communities.

13. BIOSPHERE
part of the earth in which life exists including land, water, air and atmosphere.
