List the levels of organization from smallest to largest

Sagot :

Here are the levels of biological organization:

1.
Atom: Basic unit of all matter. (Take note that these are also made up of subatomic particles) Each atom has a property of a specific element.

2.
Molecule: A molecule is a group of atoms held together by a chemical bond (Covalent bond to be specific). They differ from ions because they lack an electric charge.

3.
Organelles: Organelles are components of a cell. Such examples would be the nucleus, golgi apparatus, Endoplasmic reticulum and the like.

4. Cell: Also known as the building blocks of life. They are the most basic structural, functional and biological unit of all living things.

5. Tissue: This is an aggregate of similar cells. They need to be similar cells because they all work towards a specific function.

6. Organ: an organ is a group of tissue that shares a specific function.

7.
Organ system: It is a group of organs that work together to do one or more physiological function. Each system has a specific role in the body.

8.
Organism: It is a living creature that is composed of a network of different organ systems that work together to sustain life.

9.
Population: It is a group of similar organisms that live in a common area or environment at a given time. A population can fluctuate depending on certain factors.

10.
Community: Is a group of different organisms that interact with each other in a certain area or environment at a given time.

11.
Ecosystem: It can be defined as the interaction between the different communities, including the interactions with non-living elements in an environment like water, air, temperature and the like.

12.
Biome: It refers to a large geographical area where ecosystems exist where the organisms are adapted to the specific environment. Examples would be desert, tundra, forest and the like.

13.
Biosphere: Encompasses all the ecosystems. In other words, it consists of all the living and non-living things in the world.
