Structural levels of organization:
body has many levels of organization simplest level is the chemical level (study on your own in ch.2) Atoms
o Tiny building blocks come together to form molecules
o come together to form cells
o smallest unit of living thingso basic structure of all living things
cellular level examined in chapter 3.
tissueso groups of similar cells with common functiono 4 basic typeso come together to make up…
organso complex functions become possible
organ systemo group of organs that cooperate to accomplish a common
purpose organism
o made up of 11 systems o highest level of structural organization
