    Study Notes

    • Living things have a hierarchical organization starting from atoms, then molecules, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and finally the organism.
    • Atoms are the basic unit of matter found in both living and non-living things.
    • Molecules are formed by linking atoms together and can be found in living and non-living things.
    • Cells are the basic unit of life and contain organelles that carry out specific functions.
    • Tissues are formed by multiple cells working together, followed by organs, organ systems, and finally the organism.
