Science levels of organization for my class

2. Life is organized into 5 levels:
Cells
Tissues
Organs
Organ systems
Organisms
Populations/Community
Ecosystems

3. There are 5 Levels of
Organization in Multicellular
Organisms:
• 1. Cells
• 2. Tissues
• 3. Organs
• 4. Organ Systems
• 5. Organisms
• 6. Population
• 7. Community
• 8. Ecosystem

4. The cell is the basic
unit of structure and
function of a living
thing.
Cells are specialized
by size and shape for
the job they do
The amoeba above is
made of only one cell
and it must perform all
the jobs of the
organism.

5. T I S S U E S
Tissues are made of the same type of cells
grouped together to do a specific job.
Examples: 4 different types of animal
tissues are epithelial, muscle, nervous, and
connective. This pink sponge has only
cells but they are not organized into
tissues. The blue Man-o-war has tissues
but no organs.

6. Organs
Organs are made up of different tissues
that work together to do a job.
Example: a heart is an
organ made of all four
tissues, this coral polyp
is an organ and a leaf is a
plant organ.

7. Organ Systems
An organ system is a group of
organs working together.
Example: Human organ systems include
circulatory, reproductive, digestive, nervous,
respiratory.
Plant organ system-roots, stems,leaves=
transport system.

8. Organisms
Sum of all cells, tissues, organs and organ
systems makes an organism.

9. Population
A group of the same type of organisms all
living together in the same place.

10. Community
A group of populations
that live in a given
area that interact
with each other.

11. Ecosystem
Populations living together in one area.

12. Biosphere
All the ecosystems around the world make
up the biosphere.
