Lesson 02: Levels and Functions of Organism

Lesson Objectives:
At the end of the lesson the students should be able to:
a. identify the different levels of organism;
b. explain the different levels and functions of organism;and
c. appreciate the different stages of organism by illustrating the
stages.

Readings:

Basic Functions of Organisms

1. Organization
2. Responsiveness
3. Growth and differentiation
4. Reproduction
5. Movement
6. Metabolism and excretion
7.

Levels of Organisms

1. Chemical Level: - atoms (e.g. carbon) combine to form

molecules (e.g. glucose)
2. Cellular level:
a. Smallest living units in organisms
b. Cells contain organelles, each with a function
3. Tissue level - different groups of cells that perform a
function.

common function.
5. Organ system – consists of different organs that work
closely together
6. Organism- discrete and complete living thing.

that has the chemical properties of that element or
compound.
7. It is the biological process by which new individual organisms.
8. It the quality of reacting quickly and positively.
