CUPS Standard B.10C – Analyze the levels of organization in biological systems and relate the levels to each other and to the whole system Essential Question How do the levels of organization show an increase in complexity? The Study of Life I. Introduction to Biology Bios = "life" Biology Logos = "study of" A. Levels of Biological Organization • Organism – a living thing made up of one or more cells. • Unicellular – an organism composed of one cell, can carry on all the activities necessary for life • Multicellular – An organism composed of many cells, different cells carry out different jobs (division of labor), Multicellular Organization Similar cells work together to form Tissues. Multicellular Organization Different tissues work together to form organs. Multicellular Organization Different Organs work together to form organ Systems. Multicellular Organization All the Organ Systems work together to form a living Organism.
