  1. chemical level
  2. cellular level
  3. tissue level
  4. organ level
  5. organ system level
  6. organism level
21
Q

atoms bond to form molecules with three-dimensional structures

A

chemical level

22
Q

variety of molecules combine to form the fluid and organelles of a body cell

A

cellular level

23
Q

a community of similar cells from a body tissue

A

tissue level (ex. smooth tissue muscles)

24
Q

two or more different tissues combine to form a organ

25
two or more organs work closely together to perform the functions of a body system
organ system level (ex. urinary tract system)
26
many organ system work harmoniously together to perform the functions of an independent organism
organism level
27
tiny building blocks of matter
atoms
28
atoms combine to form
molecules (ex. water, sugar, and proteins)
29
basic structural and functional units of organisms
cells
30
consists of groups of similar cells that have a common function and structure
tissue
31
4 basic types of tissue
1. epithelial 2. connective 3. muscle 4. nervous
32
structure composed of two or more tissue that performs a specific function for the body
organ
33
group of organs working together to perform a set of related functions
organ system
34
living being that has a cellular structure and that can independently perform all physiological functions necessary for life
organism
