Macromolecules
A molecule is a chemical structure consisting of at least two atoms held together by a chemical bond.
DNA is an example of a macromolecule
Organelles
Some cells contain aggregates of macromolecules surrounded by membranes; these are called organelles.
.Organelles are small structures that exist within cells and perform specialized functions.
cells
the cell itself is the smallest fundamental unit of structure and function in living organisms.
Cells are classified as prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
Prokaryotes
Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack organelles surrounded by a membrane and do not have nuclei surrounded by nuclear membranes
eukaryotes
eukaryotes do have membrane-bound organelles and nuclei.
tissues
tissues, which are groups of similar cells carrying out the same function.
Organs
Organs are collections of tissues grouped together based on a common function.
Organs are present not only in animals but also in plants.
