Levels of organization PARTICLES
They are smaller than the atom. The best known are the proton, electron and proton
Levels of organization ATOMS
The least amount of matter that maintains identity and property of chemical element
Levels of organization MOLECULES
Molecules are formed when two or more atoms are chemically bonded together and acquire new properties. They can be made of the same or multiple elements.
Levels of organization BIOMOLECULES
Refers to any molecule that is produced by living organisms and they are part of its structure and functioning.
These are composed of C, H, O, N, P, S.
Levels of organization ORGANELLES
they are a subcellular structure found in the cytoplasm and are made up of biomolecules
Levels of organization CELLS
The fundamental unit of life
-structural
-functional
-autonomous
Levels of organization TISSUES
A collection of cells with similar structure that perform a similar or even the same task
Levels of organization ORGANS
They are a collection of tissues that work together to complete a common task
Levels of organization ORGAN SYSTEMS
A collection of organs that serve similar functions and distributed in the organism
Levels of organization ORGANISM
Individuals of a species with a set system that makes them independent
Levels of organization POPULATION
All organisms of the same species living in a particular area
Levels of organization COMMUNITY
A group of two or more different species interacting in a specific area
Levels of organization ECOSYSTEM
A collection of organisms in a particular area interacting with their environment
Levels of organization BIOSPHERE
A collection of all of the ecosystems on earth. It incorporates all forms of life as well as the elements like air, water, and earth, and the all of the relationships between them.
Biogeneic elements
C, O, H, N, P, S
