|
levels of organization from smallest to largest |
cell,tissue,organ,system |
|
organ |
-specific part of the body that preforms one main function, heart |

|
tissue |
-made up of groups of cells which work together to preform a function, skin |
|
unicellar |
-one cell organism -small -increases its size by growing -single not complex -4 types are: amoeba, paramecium, algae and bacteria -must live in a watery environment -paramecium-use cilia to get food -amoeba-use pseudopods -algae-food from sun -bacteria-millions of different species |
|
multicellular |
-multi cell organism -large -increases its size by splitting -complex system of cells -there are different types of cells to do different jobs advantages to having a multi cellular cell to a unicellular cell -can be varied due to having specialized cells and can do more things, like walking -can not only grow larger but also live in a wider variety of environments -they both have the same sized cells, just multicellular cells have more |
