    Biological Organization

    Uploaded by

    Shan Michael Sta. Ana
    Biological organization has a hierarchy with smaller components forming larger structures. Atoms combine to form molecules, which make up macromolecules inside cells. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function, and they coordinate to form tissues, organs, and organ systems within organisms. Populations of organisms interact in communities, which together with the abiotic environment form ecosystems. All ecosystems interact globally to make up the biosphere.

    Biological Organization
    Biological Organization is the hierarchy of complex biological structures and systems that define life using a
    reductionistic approach. Organization is the arrangement of smaller components of nay structure, system or situation
    into larger ones and larger ones into still larger ones in hierarchy, where components of each level coordinate with one
    another towards a common goal. Organization is sort of hierarchy or pyramid of levels where each level is made of
    components of lower level and itself becomes a component of higher level.

    The basic unit or component of organization in both living and non-living object is an atom. An
    atom is, of course further made of still smaller particles like electrons, protons and neutrons.
    ATOM

    Atoms combine with one another to form molecules.


    Groups of atoms; smallest unit of most chemical compound.
    MOLECULES Macromolecules are large, biologically important molecules inside cells.

    The subcellular components coordinate their activities to produce living cells. Living beings are
    made of one cell (unicellular organisms) or numerous cells (multicellular organisms).
    CELL

    In multicellular organisms the cells may be similar (colonial organisms) or organized into distinct functional
    units called tissue. A tissue is a group of cells with similar structure performing the same function
    TISSUE

    Two or more tissues are organized into distinct structures called organs . Organs are specialized for
    performing one or more functions e.g. pumping by heart, photosynthesis by leaves.
    ORGAN

    Two or more organs coordinate their activities towards a common activity e.g. digestive system, respiratory
    ORGAN system.
    SYSTEM

    Living beings are called organisms because they possess high level of organization. They are called
    individuals as each organism has a distinct interact or individuality.
    ORGANISM Individual living things.

    All the individuals of a species found in an area where they can interact with one another is called
    population.
    POPULATION Group of organism of one type taht live in the same area.

    The populations of different species found in an area also interact with one another . They constitute a
    biotic community.
    COMMUNITY Population that live togetherin a defined area.

    The biotic community of an area and its abiotic environment together form an ecosystem.
    Community and its nonliving surrounding.
    ECOSYSTEM

    All the ecosystems of the world interact further and form biosphere or livable space of the earth. An
    organism is, therefore, not only an individual but also a part of population, community, ecosystem and
    biosphere.
    BIOSPHERE The part of earth that contains all ecosystems.
