The way something is built determines how it works.
What is a function?
How something works and what it can do

How does the smallest level(atom) have an effect on the largest level of biology(biosphere) and how can it change it?
An atom is what started all of the levels so without the atom none of the levels would be able to exist.
What is a cell?
The smallest unit that can carry out all life processes.
A group of organs that interact to perform similar functions is . . .
