    The document outlines the levels of biological organization from smallest to largest: 1) Atoms are the smallest unit of matter that make up molecules. 2) Molecules are composed of one or more atoms and retain the properties of a substance. 3) Cells are the basic structural and functional units of life and tissues are groups of similar cells that perform specific functions.

    LEVELS OF BIOLOGICAL

    ORGANIZATION
    ESTHER S. LANCITA
    ATOM
      Atoms are the smallest unit of matter that have the chemical properties of
    a particular chemical element. 
    MOLECULES

     Molecules the smallest particle of a substance that retains all the properties
    of the substance and is composed of one or more atoms
    CELL

     Cells - The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small room") is the basic


    structural, functional, and biological unit of all known organisms. A cell is the
    smallest unit of life. Cells are often called the "building blocks of life".
    Tissue
     A tissue is a group of distinct and similar cells that carry out a specific set of
    functions.
    ORGAN
     Organs are groups of tissues organized together to carry out a particular set of
    functions.  Organs typically have several kinds of tissue.  Organs in animals
    are composed of a number of different tissue types. For example, the
    stomach:
    ORGAN SYSTEM

     Multicellular organisms, especially animals typically are organized into organ


    systems, groups of organs that function together to carry out broad sets of
    functions. For instance an organ system in humans is the digestive system. 
    Some of the organs in the digestive system are the stomach, liver, small
    intestine, pancreas.
    ORGANISM

     The organism or individual is that level of biological organization that has its
    own distinct existence as a complex, self reproducing unit.  We are multi-
    cellular organisms in that we are made of many highly specialized cells which
    cannot exist independently of other cells in the organism.
    POPULATION
     A population is group of freely interacting and breeding individuals of the
    same species. For example, all the bull frogs in a pond can be considered a
    population of bullfrogs. Typically populations are subdivided into smaller
    groups: a pack of wolves, pride of lions, colony of ants.
    COMMUNITY

     A community is all the populations of different species living and interacting


    together in a distinct area. (e.g: all the species in a pond)
    ECOSYSTEM
     Ecosystems are distinguishable groups of species and the abiotic (non-living)
    components of the environment with which the living creatures interact.
    Examples of ecosystems include forests, prairies, deserts
    BIOMES

     Biome – any of the world’s major ecosystems


    BIOSPHERE
     The biosphere is the region on, below, and above the Earth's surface where
    life exists. Living things can be found well into the atmosphere, the deepest
    parts of the ocean, and at least in some areas, microbes live in rock several
    kilometers below the surface of the earth
