Describe the hierarchy of organization from atoms to ecosystems.
Describe the hierarchy of organization from atoms to ecosystems.
The hierarchy of organization is structured as follows: Atom → Molecule → Cell → Tissue → Organ → Body system → Organism → Population → Community → Ecosystem.
List the four common atoms found in the human body and their significance.
List the four common atoms found in the human body and their significance.
The four common atoms are Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen; they are essential for forming the building blocks of life, including macromolecules.
What are macromolecules and how do they relate to atoms?
What are macromolecules and how do they relate to atoms?
Macromolecules are large molecules formed by the bonding of smaller atoms in predictable ways; they are essential components of living organisms.

Study Notes
Hierarchy
- Hierarchy is a system where members of an organization or society are ranked by status or authority.
- Atoms → Molecules → Cells → Tissues → Organs → Body System → Organism → Population → Community → Ecosystem
Common Atoms in the Human Body
- Carbon (C)
- Hydrogen (H)
- Oxygen (O)
- Nitrogen (N)
Macromolecules
- Macromolecules are formed when atoms bond together in predictable ways to form life's building blocks.
- Examples include:
- Carbohydrates (starch)
- Lipids (fats, oils, waxes)
- Proteins (insulin)
- Nucleic acids (DNA)
