Biology: Levels

of Organization
 Levels of Organization
Organization is the arrangement of smaller components of nay
structure, system or situation into larger ones and larger ones into
still larger ones in hierarchy, where components of each level
coordinate with one another towards a common goal. Organisation
is sort of hierarchy or pyramid of levels where each level is made
of components of lower level and itself becomes a component of
higher level.
—SOMEONE FAMOUS
 1. atom
The basic unit or component of
organization in both living and
non-living object is an atom. An
atom is, of course further made of
still smaller particles like electrons,
protons and neutrons.
 Atoms combine with one another to form molecules
Examples are:
•  proteins
•  carbohydrates
•  lipids

2.
The smallest units of most compounds formed by the
chemical bonding of atoms.

MOLECULE
3.
ORGANELL
Specialized structures
that perform important
S functions within
cellular
cells.
4.
CELL
The smallest unit of life – collections of
living matter enclosed by a barrier that
separates them from their surroundings.

JUPITER SATURN MARS

Jupiter is the biggest planet Yes, this is the ringed one. Mars is a actually a cold
in our Solar System and It’s a gas giant, composed place. It’s full of iron oxide
the fourth-brightest object mostly of hydrogen and dust, which gives the
in the sky helium planet its reddish cast
5. tissues
Groups of tissues that work
together to perform closely
related functions.
Four basic types of tissue
found in the human body:
• Epithelial
• Connective
• Muscular
• Neural
A PICTURE IS

Two or more tissues are organized into
distinct structures called organs . Organs
are specialized for performing one or
more functions

Living beings are called organisms
because they possess high level of
organization. They are called
individuals as each organism has
a distinct interact or individuality.
