Chemical Level
What level of organization consists of Consists of cells- the smallest living structures
basic units of structure and function in organisms
Formed from atoms and molecules from the chemical level
Cellular Level
What level of organization consist of Consists of tissues- groups of similar cells performing common functions
Tissue level
What level of organization consist of Consists of organs- two or more tissue types performing specific functions
e.g., the small intestine composed of all four tissue types, working to process and absorb digested nutrients
Organ level
What level of organization Contains related organs that work together to achieve a common function
e.g., organs of the digestive system working together to digest food, absorb nutrients, and expel waste products
