What are the levels of organization in the human body? Explain each.

Atom
Molecule/macromolecule (protein, DNA, RNA, etc.)
Organelles (makes cells mitochondria, lysosome, Golgi Apparatus)
Cell (performs the basic function of life, the smallest unit of an organism)
Tissue (group of similar cells muscular, nervous, etc.)
Organ (cluster of tissues & each with specialized function heart, lungs, etc.)
Organ system (each w/ unique purpose circulatory, respiratory, etc.)
