What I Need to Know

Living things perform complex processes, but its complexities are being studied carefully by Science
to explain the Beauty behind it! The search to understand how living things carry processes and sustain its
need to survive, what are they made of and how does the body of the organism function so well is not a
mystery anymore because of the intensive study on the Levels of Biological Organization. Living things are
highly organized and structured, that can be examined on a scale from small to large, from simple to
complex.
In order to understand the organism’s biological levels of organization, it is good to break things into
levels.
After going through this module, you are expected to describe the different levels of Biological
organization from cell to Biosphere. (S7LT-IIc-3)
This module was designed and created to help you understand what makes up an organism like you
and the levels of Biological organization from cell to Biosphere. Be diligent and be patient in reading and
following the instruction given in this module and answer the activities and test correctly.

What is it
In Activity 1 and 2, You identified major organs of our body and you were able to tell what organ
system they belong. In Activity 3 and 4, you were introduced that living organisms are not only made up of
organs, there are still smaller parts that perform specific functions to keep the bigger part of our body and
the whole body and eventually the whole living world sustains life.

THE BIOLOGICAL LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION

The different levels of organization in an organism from smallest to biggest as shown in figure 1
and 2 below, are cells, tissues, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem and
Biosphere.

Figure 1. Biological levels of Figure2. Biological levels of organization in animals

Organization in Plants
1. Cells- is the smallest fundamental unit of structure and function in living organisms that is
considered completely alive. Some organisms consist of a single cell or unicellular and others are
multicellular. Cells are classified as prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Prokaryotes are single-celled or
colonial organisms that do not have membrane-bound nuclei; in contrast, the cells of eukaryotes do
have membrane-bound organelles and a membrane-bound nucleus.
2. Tissues- are groups of cells that have a similar structure and act together to perform a specific
function.
3. Organ – It is a group of tissues with similar functions.
4. Organ System– a group of organs with the same Specific function.
5. Organism- It is composed of different organ systems that work together to carry out life.
 6. Population- A group of organisms of the same species that live in particular geographic area at the
same time.
7. Community- a group or association of populations occupying the same geographical area at the
same time.
8. Ecosystem- a community of living things interacting with each other with their non-living
environment.
9. Biosphere - The global sum of all the ecosystems. The zone of life on earth.

ACTIVITY 5: FILL ME UP! 40

Directions: Provide what is being asked in the different levels of organization in an organism in order. In
number 1, the smallest level and in number 9, the biggest level. Paste a picture from the internet in each
level of biological organization. Number 1 is done for you. The rubric below will guide you on how you are

After Learning the Different Levels of organization in organisms, Perform Activity 6.

ACTIVITY 6: IDENTIFY AND ARRANGE ME

30
Directions: Identify the levels of Biological organization portrayed in each picture and arrange it using
numbers 1-9 (1 being the smallest level and 9 being the Biggest level of organization). Write your answer on
the space provided in the table. The first part is done for you.

What I Can Do
Now we have learned that the whole living world is being structured and organized into different
levels. What happens to any of the levels of biological organization will affect the other parts. If the cell is
sick, the tissues will be sick then it will affect the organ, then the organ system then the organism, then if
one organism in a population is sick, it will affect the community, then the balance in the ecosystem will be
disrupted too and eventually the whole living system, the Biosphere will lose its state of equilibrium.

ACTIVITY 7: JUST SAY NO!

30
Directions: Describe how a certain disease affect the different levels of biological organization through a
picture form the internet. Paste the picture on the space provided. Then beside each picture, tell how this
certain type of ailment in the different levels of biological organization can be avoided. The Rubric used in
activity 5 will also be used in grading you in this activity.
