    Level of organization refers to the hierarchical structures in nature composed of parts that make up larger wholes. The scientific study of these levels, from the biosphere down to the atom, helps us understand their complex structures and functions. The levels include the biosphere, biome, ecosystem, community, population, organism, organ system, organ, tissue, cell, organelle, molecule, and atom.

    MODULE 4 – LEVEL OF ORGANIZATION

    Level of organization refers to the structures in nature that are defined by part-whole relationships, with things at higher
    levels being composed of things at the next lower level.
    The scientific study of these helps us gain insights into the complexities of their structure and functions.
