Key Questions and Terms Notes


What is a living organism? Give a few  Animal, plant, and me
examples.
What are the levels of organization, including  Atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs,
the organism? (Hint: There are seven.) organ systems, organisms.
what is an element?  A substance that cannot be broken down into
simpler substances.
What elements are found in the human body?  Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen,

What are some important functions cells  Cells help you move your body and help your
perform in the human body? skins and bones function.
Briefly describe each group of specialized  
cells.

muscle is one type of tissue.
 Organs: are made up of lungs, the
heart, the brain, liver, stomach and the
kidneys.

Organ systems: Respiratory, digestive,


nervous, circulatory, skeletal, and
muscular.
How are organisms organized from simple to  Atom, molecule, cell, tissue, organ, organ-
