THE LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION OF LIVING THINGS LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1. Identify what are the different levels of organization in living things. 2. Arrange the hierarchical organization of living things from the simplest one to the most complex. Have you ever asked yourself how complex your body is? Did you know that every organism has a highly organized body system from smallest to the complex structure working together to perform specific function for an organism to live, adapt, reproduce, and survive. LIVING ORGANISMS are characterized by a highly organized structure and arranged in a hierarchical pattern.  LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION 1. ATOM 7. ORGAN SYSTEM 2. MOLECULES 8. ORGANISM 3. ORGANELLE 9. POPULATION 4. CELL 10. COMMUNITY 5. TISSUE 11. ECOSYSTEM 6. ORGAN 12. BIOSPHERE 1. ATOM - smallest scale - fundamental unit of matter 2. MOLECULES - chemical structure consisting of atleast two atoms held together by one or more chemical bonds - DNA which contains the instructions for the structure and functionoing of your body 3. ORGANELLE - subunit of a cell and consist of functioning biomolecules - take part in the chemical reaction and interactions of cellular processes of an ooorganism MITOCHONDRIA CHLOROPLAST 4. CELL - building blocks of life - classified as prokaryotic (single cell) and eukaryotic (multicellular) ROBERT HOOKE The first one who discovered the cell looked through a primitive microscope at a thinly cut piece of cork (dead cell walls of plant cell). ANTON VAN LEEUWENHOEK The first man who witness a live cell under amicroscope in 1674. These tiny single-cell organisms are known as today as microorganisms, and he is known as the Father of Microbiology. 5. TISSUE - group of similar cells performing specific function within an organism ANIMAL TISSUES: Epthelial Tissues, Muscle Tissues, and Nervous Tissues PLANT TISSUES: Vascular, Dermal and Ground Tissues 6. ORGAN - collection of tissues group together performing “common function” VITAL ORGAN (ANIMALS) VITAL ORGAN (PLANTS) 7. ORGAN SYSTEM - higher level of organization that consist of functionally related organs 8. ORGANISM - living individual intities which composed of various organ system that function altogether 9. POPULATION - group of organism of the same species living togeyher within a specific area 10. COMMUNITY - group of organisms composed of different species which and interacting in a certain area 11. ECOSYSTEM - group of organisms of having an interaction with non-living environment (air, nitrogen, soil, rainwater) 12. BIOSPHERE - global sum of all ecosystem and represents the zone of life on earth ACTIVITY SKILL BUILDING ACTIVITY (INDIVIDUAL) Fill in the graphic organizer below the different levels of organization in living things from the simplest for (apex) until the most complex form (base). Do not forget to include a short a short description for ech level below the triangle. Write it in a short bondpaper. THANK YOU!
