Structure of Living Organisms

All organisms are composed of atoms.
Atoms have a nucleus with protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons.
Atoms bond to form molecules.
Molecules combine to create subcellular organelles.
Cells are the basic structural and functional units of life.
Tissues are groups of similar cells that perform a specific function.
Organs are composed of two or more tissues working together for a specific task.
Examples of organs include the brain, stomach, kidney, and liver.
Organ systems are groups of organs that work together for a specific function.
Examples of organ systems include the skeletal, nervous, and reproductive systems.
Organisms are individual living entities, often composed of multiple organ systems.

Classification of Living Organisms

Cell Classification

Unicellular: Single-celled organisms (e.g., bacteria) perform all life functions within a single cell.
Multicellular: Multicellular organisms (e.g., plants and animals) have differentiated cells for various functions.

Nucleus Classification

Prokaryotic: Cells lack a nucleus; genetic material is not enclosed.
Eukaryotic: Cells have a nucleus; genetic material is enclosed within the nuclear membrane.

This quiz explores the fundamental structure of living organisms, covering the composition of atoms, molecules, cells, and the organization into tissues, organs, and organ systems. Test your knowledge on the various classifications and functions of these biological units.
