2 ORGANIZATION Cells are the basic unit of life: Living things are made of cells Life functions happen in cells

3 Cells work together to make- TISSUES Tissues are a group of cells doing a similar function, such as muscle tissue

4 Similar tissues work together - -to make ORGANS Organs are similar tissues working together to accomplish a life function.

5 Organs are grouped together in -organ SYSTEMS Systems work together to perform life functions

6 COMPLEX ORGANISMS -are made of many organ systems These organ systems each perform specific functions and together, they maintain homeostasis.

7 Not all organisms Have all these levels of organization. Some organisms are unicellular, so they will not have tissues or organs, only organelles.

8 Simpler organisms Will only have tissues, such as this planaria.

9 Homeostasis Is easier to maintain if you are multicellular, as long as you have this “division of labor”

10 Mitosis Creates this organization because cells produce exact copies of themselves: If it is a liver cell, it will produce another liver cell.

11 The DNA -In each cell of a multicellular organism is an exact copy of the first, original cell of that organism, but as the organism developed, cells differentiated, or took on a specific structure for a specific job.

12 DNA carries the instructions -for each cell, but parts of the DNA are “turned on”, or active, and parts are”turned off” Remember, the fragment of a chromosome that carries instructions for a specific protein is the GENE

13 From smallest to largest- DNA  Gene  Chromosome  Cell  Tissue  Organ  Organ System  Organism  Population  Community  Ecosystem  Biome  Biosphere!!
